Car Travel – Not Recommended
Driving to the stadium is strongly discouraged. Emirates Stadium is located in a residential area, and an Event Day Parking Scheme restricts local parking.
Only vehicles with a resident permit may park nearby on match or event days.
If you must drive, consider using park-and-ride schemes or parking farther out and finishing your journey via public transport.
Attending an Event?
Be sure to plan your route in advance and allow for crowds or delays on match or concert days. Arriving early ensures you can enjoy the electric atmosphere without the stress of travel delays.
