Arsenal FC
Emirates Stadium
By Train/Tube
The nearest
underground station to the Emirates Stadium is Holloway Road on
the Piccadilly line. However, this will be closed
on matchdays as it relies mostly on lifts to transport passengers to and
from street level and this could cause problems when large crowds are in
attendance. Fans should therefore alight at the next stop on the
Piccadilly line which is Arsenal tube station. It is only
a few minutes walk from here to the stadium. On exiting the station turn
right and follow Drayton Park Road around to the left. Then take one of the
large bridges over the railway line to the stadium. Other tube stations in walking
distance of the stadium are Finsbury Park on the
Piccadilly Line and Highbury & Islington on the Victoria Line.
Otherwise you can take an overland train to Finsbury Park
Railway Station from London Kings Cross. It is then about a
10 to 15 minute walk from Finsbury Park to the stadium. Drayton Park Station
which is situated right by the stadium is closed at weekends.
Tim Sansom adds; 'After the game we had to walk a
fair distance to find an
underground station that had not been shut
due to overcrowding. We found
that the Arsenal underground had been shut
by the police and so had to undertake a fairly
long walk to Finsbury Park which was also shut by
station staff. We were recommended by the police
to take the mainline train into Kings Cross,
which we did with no problems and were back in central London within 10
minutes'.
Unless you are team are being stuffed and you are leaving the game a
little early, then Arsenal tube station should be fine. If though you are
staying to the final whistle, then you are better off walking to Finsbury
Park, rather than wait in the long queues at Arsenal tube. To get to
Finsbury Park, simple walk past Arsenal tube station on your left and then
take a left into St Thomas's Road. The station is at the end of the road.
The Police also do a good job of controlling the flow of the numbers of
fans onto the station.
