Street Parking - Events at Emirates Stadium

Matchday Parking

Islington Council, in partnership with Arsenal football club, has introduced match day parking controls which prioritise parking for local residents and businesses when there is a football match or major event at the Emirates Stadium.

How the Scheme Works

When Arsenal play matches at home or hold events, controlled parking zones (CPZs) near the Emirates Stadium have additional operating hours.

The extra operating hours are:

• from the end of the normal CPZ operating hours to 8.30pm
• Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays - 12 noon to 4.30pm

The controls prevent visitors to Arsenal from using all the local parking spaces.

You will know when the match day controls are due to come into effect from additional signs on the CPZ entry signs. These will normally be displayed three days before a home match or stadium-held event.

Parking Suspensions on Matchdays

Some parking bays will need to be suspended around the Emirates Stadium, and we have re-designed and installed new signs which are more informative. These signs will have the date of the next match displayed at the bottom of the sign. On the day before the match these signs will be 'un-flipped' to indicate the parking bay has been suspended. On the morning of the match, yellow ‘no waiting’ cones will be placed in the parking bays, again to re-affirm the bays are suspended. 

Please familiarise yourself with the signs and check the dates on them for forthcoming suspensions. The pictures to the right detail the signs.

Parking bays on Drayton Park - between Benwell Road and Bryantwood Road - will be suspended when the location is required for coach parking. Arsenal has estimated that this location will only need to be used a few times this season. The parking suspension will be under the same terms and conditions as above.

Would you like to be amongst the first to know about every first team fixture amendment or new cup fixture? Arsenal FC has set up a new email service with the intention of notifying supporters and local residents about such information as soon as possible. The content of the service will exclusively concern fixture notification and the subscription procedure could not be simpler.

To register, please send a blank email to join-fixtures@list.arsenal.co.uk and you will immediately be added to the fixtures emailing list. You will then be sent notification by email within minutes of any new fixture being confirmed.
