Anyone been to wembley recently

[oldalbiongirl]

Last time I went there was England v Scotland ages ago! So cant remember a thing about travel/stations etc. Im going up there on Thursday for the womens football final with my little girl and want to make sure I get the right stations etc. I am near eastbourne but will probably be travelling out of Haywards Heath. Anyone been up during the olympics or have any idea of best stations etc to go to. I presume driving is out of the question.

My Daughter and her gang went yesterday to see Mexico play. Too late to ring her tonight but she said today the journey was easy. I know they went to Victoria by train then caught the tube direct to Wembley. She said leaving was the only issue as it took at least an hour to get out and get on a train. I will get more details tomorrow.

I caught the train to wembley park last wednesday for south korea v gabon on the way getting there is fine just a bit crowded on the train. getting back there was a queue for wembley park the whole way along wembley but going to wembley stadium station there was no queue and straight on the train to marlybone. Wembley park has a direct train to clapham junction which is easy but it stops calling at wembley central at about 9.30 ish

Use Wembley Stadium station, about 10 minutes from Marylebone, queues are a lot shorter and trains arent as packed as the tube.

Could either get back to Victoria using the tube (Bakerloo line to Oxford Circus and Victoria line to Victoria) or the number 2 bus from outside the station - both are rather quick.

We went last Tuesday for Team GB ladies vs Brazil.
Left Lancing pretty early (half 3ish) for a 7:45 kick-off, got there with plenty of time. If you're travelling from Haywards Heath you probably won't need to leave until half 4.
That left long enough to do a lap of the Stadium and concourse, have food, drink, etc. Be prepared to pay with several of your vital organs, I think it was £8.10 for fish and chips and £3.90 for a small bottle of beer.

On the way back we walked to Wembley Central station (the furthest of the three) after the game had finished and there were barely any queues. Only needed one change to get back to Victoria using the Underground and Bob's your uncle.

Went Sat... Was easy getting there... waterloo... then jubilee line to wembley park...

The only problem was leaving the stadium... absolutely chocca and took 45 mins to walk down wembley walk... once in the station though was fine...

Maybe leave 5 mins early to save 45 mins on ur journey...

Victoria > Green Park > Wembley Park

I went to the Mexico game. Don't rush out, leave it about an hour and head for Wembley Park.

You can get the Metropolitan line change at King's Cross and head to Victoria.

I went on Wednesday and drove. There are lots of "unnofficial" car parks near the stadium. Pick one. No bother. A bit of traffic from Perivale onwards on the way in. Left game a couple of minutes early at 7pm, avoided rush, home at 8:45. Absolute doddle.

I went last Sunday for the England game - I travelled by car.

I booked a parking spot via Parking Spaces, Driveways and Garages for Rent | ParkatmyHouse. 5 minutes walk to the stadium.

I got away very quickly. Hardly held up at all on the way out and was home in Bristol in a little over 2 hours.

I got sent an email recently offering me a tour of wembley and the chance to zip line across the pitch. I was really looking forward to it until I realised I was just over the maximum weight restriction.

Looks like you have had lots of advice. My Daughter went to Victoria from Brighton / Victoria line tube to Green Park / Jubilee line to Wembley. Its worth waiting a bit before you leave to let the bulk of the crowd go. Enjoy your day.

Went last Tuesday to Gabon - South Korea. Jubilee line and Metropolitan to Wembley Park easy. Left 5 min early as did most apparently but got into the same station and on a Jubilee line train with little difficulty. Lots of people but no real queues and well organised.

Victoria > Green Park > Baker street > Wembley park is quickest way by tube from Victoria , make sure you get metropolitan line from baker street

Parking is £30 per car when it's an England match, so probably double that in the Olympics. But get the tube and you may have hours of standing round waiting for them to let you into the station, not much fun with a small child.
