Arsenal (Piccadilly Line) is the nearest tube station, around three minutes walk from the ground. Finsbury Park (Victoria, Piccadilly Lines and Great Northern rail) and Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line, North London Line and Great Northern rail) stations are around a 10-minute walk - these should be slightly less crowded.
Posters will go up at these stations prior to most key matches to give station users advance notice of matches.
King's Cross is the main connecting station for national rail and many underground lines. From here you can travel to the ground via the Piccadilly Line (to Arsenal) or the Victoria Line (to Highbury & Islington). Alternatively, a short overground rail journey of one stop will take you to Finsbury Park station.
Please note: Holloway Road station will be exit-only before a match and closed for up to 1 hour after a match. Pre-match eastbound trains are non-stopping.
Bus is a fast and convenient option with connections passing the ground on all sides. Main bus stops are located on Holloway Road, Nag's Head, Seven Sisters Road, Blackstock Road and Highbury Corner. High frequency services will take you within a five to 10 minute walk of the ground and direct routes cover much of north and central London.
Further information on buses is available through www.tfl.gov.uk
Supporters are strongly advised not to drive to Emirates Stadium. The ground is situated in a mainly residential area with an extensive Event Day Parking Scheme in operation. Only car owners with resident's permits will be allowed to park on-street in the designated areas and any cars parked illegally will be towed away.
Arsenal Football Club has set out their new arrangements for supporter coach travel to Emirates Stadium. All coaches must be parked two to four hours before the start of a match.
Please visit the Arsenal website for more information on coach travel.
Emirates Stadium is fully accessible by bike. Routes across London are mapped out in cycle guides available from Transport for London’s (TfL) website. Once you arrive at Emirates Stadium there is secure cycling parking available close to the ‘All Arsenal’ retail store on Drayton Park. The cycle parking area is clearly signposted, but Arsenal stewards will be on hand to assist.
There is a secure (locked) cycle parking site at Finsbury Park Station, with 125 cycle stands and 24 hour CCTV. Access costs 50p per day.
