Not sure where in Berkshire you are. Normally from Reading l'd get a train to Waterloo then the Bakerloo line to Oxford Circus, change (cross-platform) onto the Victoria line to Seven Sisters.

With the planned rail strikes on 20 May l can see why you are considering driving - l can see the attractions of the O2 (readily available parking) but the traffic around the Greenwich area is bloody awful. Personally l'd be tempted to drive around the M25 to somewhere like Stanmore on North London.

After the last 7 days I expect most of our fans will be walking to Spurs on air

They'll have to given the bloody rail strikes lol...

Oh and there are tube strikes on 19 Aug 22 which may have knock-ons into Saturday.

Is crossrail from Reading operating on Saturday?

Depending on your car beware the ULEZ has now extended to the North Circular (A406). You can drive along the A406 but not inside it. If in doubt you can go online and check if your car is affected.

Yeah thats probably what I would of done but thanks for advice about Stanmore.

You could drive to Bush Hill Park (Enfield) - M25 then around 3 miles along the A10 so not much “London driving” which I know a lot of people don’t like. Free on-street parking at weekends and 3 stops on the overground to WHL. Obviously reliant on the trains running though.

 

[MiddlesexWolf]

May be worth stopping somewhere like West Ruislip/Ruislip Gardens and then going down on the Central Line, changing at Oxford Circus and getting the Victoria Line.

Unless you don't mind driving into London somewhere to get a bit closer.

I wouldn't risk the Overground. Heavily reduced service between 0800-1800 only.

I don't know what parking there is around Walthamstow but it may be worth a look.

My bad, for some reason I thought the game was on Sunday. Think I was mixing it up with the Newcastle game… @yateleywolf

Think that sounds the best one so far thanks

Unfortunately, with the rail strike that day, it’s not going to be an option. I was thinking the game was on Sunday as per my later post.

That's brillant thanks I think even I can manage that

I've normally aimed for parking at Hillingdon , failing that Ickenham...but Ruislip is an option too.

Tottenham do run a park & ride service that might be of some use to travelling fans

Shuttle Bus Service | FTS Tottenham Shuttle Bus

Our free shuttle bus services assist fans travelling to and from our stadium on event day via Alexandra Palace Rail Station and Wood Green Tube Station in North London.

I live in Ruislip so those are the best ones round here.

I would avoid trying to park by West Ruislip as there’s been some HS2 work on there but further down in Ickenham would be ok and then walk up to West Ruislip station as an alternative.

Have you inhaled much of the London air?

 

[WR4Wolf]

We parked at ****fosters last season for spurs, Arsenal & West Ham though was a bit of a trek for the latter.
Arsenal was ideal & Spurs not bad changing at Finsbury Park for seven sisters though a fair walk from there

 

[Brixton Wanderer]

If anyone’s got a spare for this please drop me a message!

 

[WickedWolfie]

Just to make it even better there are bus driver strikes in North West London on Saturday too.

 

[bilstonwolf]

If anyone has a late spare I can walk to the ground in an hour if needs be!

 

[Padraig]

Planning to park a few stops away and get the Overground. Which is running between 8am-6pm, however they won’t be publishing any timetables.

I wouldn't advise that. You can queue for over an hour at White Hart Lane station after a game on a normal matchday.

It’s a risk for sure, we’ll probably just go for a pint after the game for a couple of hours and get a taxi back if the trains are bad.
