Getting from Your Hotel to Emirates Stadium

By Tube (Recommended)

The Emirates is served by several Underground stations:

Arsenal (Piccadilly Line) — The closest station, just 3 minutes' walk from the ground. Note: No step-free access.

Holloway Road (Piccadilly Line) — Similar distance but exit-only before matches and closed for up to 2 hours after games.

Finsbury Park (Piccadilly & Victoria Lines) — About 10 minutes' walk. Usually less crowded and has wheelchair access.

Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line & Overground) — Around 10 minutes' walk. Less congested and wheelchair accessible on London Overground.

From King's Cross: Take the Piccadilly Line directly to Arsenal (3 stops) or the Victoria Line to Highbury & Islington (2 stops).

By Bus

Several bus routes pass close to the stadium with stops on Holloway Road, Nag's Head, Seven Sisters Road, Blackstock Road, and Highbury Corner. Key routes include:

• 271: Highgate Village to Liverpool Street Station
• 43: Friern Barnet to London Bridge Station
• 19: Finsbury Park to Battersea Bridge

High-frequency services will drop you within a 5-10 minute walk of the ground.

On Foot from Central London

Walking from King's Cross takes approximately 45-50 minutes. The route passes through residential Islington — not the most scenic walk but perfectly safe and a good way to build up matchday anticipation.

By Car (Not Recommended)

Arsenal FC strongly advises against driving to Emirates Stadium. Matchday parking restrictions are extensive in the surrounding Islington streets, and traffic congestion is significant. If you must drive, consider parking further out and taking the tube.
