Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Getting Here
General Admission opening: 6pm
Premium opening: 5pm
- The stadium is served by four stations on Friday (White Hart Lane, Northumberland Park, Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters) providing access to London Overground, London Underground, Greater Anglia services and numerous TfL buses.
- Free high-capacity shuttle bus services to and from the Piccadilly Line at Wood Green and Greater Northern services at Alexandra Palace connect the stadium with other stations and services.
- There is ample cycle parking around the stadium and walking routes to and from the stadium to stations and coach parks are all clearly signposted. Stewards will also be on hand to answer any questions.
Arrive early and stay after the match to take advantage of the wide range of food outlets, bars and entertainment within the stadium.
Wherever fans are travelling from, particularly if they have never been to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before, we recommend taking the time to read the following information.
Trains
White Hart Lane
Six trains per hour are expected to call at White Hart Lane in both directions before the match, with the service to reduce to 4-5 trains per hour after the match. All trains will be made up of eight carriages.
Supporters travelling to Liverpool Street post-match are reminded that Northumberland Park services have greater capacity to those from White Hart Lane and are faster because they have fewer stops.
White Hart Lane is a fully accessible station.
Northumberland Park
Greater Anglia will operate eight trains per hour northbound via Northumberland Park throughout the day. This service will operate between Liverpool Street and Cambridge with two trains stopping at Stansted Airport. There will be six trains per hour southbound between Cambridge, Hertford East, Liverpool Street, respectively.
After the match, the southbound service will increase to 12 trains per hour, with all southbound trains calling at Tottenham Hale, Stratford and Liverpool Street. This increased service post-match includes four Stansted Express trains.
Supporters are advised to use Northumberland Park if using Greater Anglia services as it is a shorter distance to the stadium than Tottenham Hale.
Tottenham Hale
Tottenham Hale is a fully accessible station with access to and between Victoria Line and Greater Anglia services. Greater Anglia platforms are fully accessible from the concourse, which has entry and exit ramps.
Supporters using the Victoria Line, including wheelchair users and those with limited mobility, are advised to use Tottenham Hale rather than Seven Sisters as it is a shorter journey to and from the stadium.
Seven Sisters
Victoria Line services will be operating every two minutes in both directions before the match. After the match this service will reduce to every 3-4 minutes until 11.30pm, when there will be six trains per hour throughout the night as part of the night tube service.
Post-match
We expect approximately half the event attendees to depart the Tottenham area via the Victoria Line. Queues can be expected at the High Road entrance to Seven Sisters station. Northumberland Park and Tottenham Hale will be less busy with no significant delays expected at either station.
Supporters are advised to avoid station queues and enjoy the food and drink available in the stadium. Last orders are at 22.20pm with bars closing at 22.40pm and the stadium will close at 11pm.
Buses
The stadium is well-served by TfL buses, albeit with some services diverted during the road closure period (from two hours before kick-off until approximately one hour after the final whistle).
Bus diversions will be minimised, so they are back operating on the High Road as soon as possible after the final whistle.
Before and during a match, services that normally run up and down the High Road (149, 259, 279 and 349) are diverted to the east of the stadium at Lansdowne Road, rejoining the High Road at the Northumberland Park junction.
Overview
Road Closures
Please note we shall need to close some roads closest to the stadium before, during and after a match
Cycling
If you’re feeling fit then why not cycle?
Taxis and Private Hire
From Station to Stadium
We have installed wayfinding signage from all four train stations to the stadium.
Please refer to the digital wayfinding signs as you leave the stadium to your chosen station.
Please plan your walking route back to the stations as access routes into the stations are normally different due to post-match queue management arrangements. Please listen to the advice of stewards and station staff.
We encourage supporters to make use of the full length of the platform at each station. Moving down the length of the platform will speed up the loading of the trains and decrease the waiting times for your fellow spectators.

Shuttle Bus Services
Supporters should note that the Club operates a service between the stadium and Alexandra Palace (Great Northern Services) and Wood Green (Piccadilly Line) stations.
The Great Northern Line will operate 10 trains per hour before the match, reducing to six trains per hour each way through Alexandra Palace throughout the day.
The Alexandra Palace and Wood Green shuttle services operate three hours before and two hours after the match. However, supporters are advised to arrive at the shuttle bus stop at least one hour before kick-off to allow for the travel time and security checks at the stadium.
Although the service is free for all fans attending a match, you will need to register via the link below before booking and present your e-ticket to bus staff before entry onto a shuttle service
Service details
Alexandra Palace Station (Great Northern Services)
Before a match, shuttle buses pick-up from Station Road (opposite the station entrance) and drop-off outside Haringey Sixth Form College – a five-minute walk from the stadium. This journey is then reversed after a match.
Wood Green Station (Piccadilly Line services)
Before a match, shuttle buses pick-up on the High Road (opposite the bus garage) from the existing rail replacement stop just 60m from the station and also drop-off at White Hart Lane, outside Haringey Sixth Form College. After the match, the buses will drop fans outside the Green Rooms Hotel opposite Wood Green Station.
Car Parking
The Club is dedicated to minimising the environmental impacts of its activities across all Club operations, including through the promotion of alternative forms of transport for supporters and staff.
As such, there is no parking available for general admission fans at the stadium.
The road closures also mean that, if you choose to travel by car, you will not be able to exit any car parking facility within the road closure area for one hour after the final whistle.
Therefore, in most cases, we discourage fans from driving to the stadium, so please explore your public transport options before travelling.
Accessible Parking
Parking for supporters with a disability is available in and around the stadium, subject to availability. To request parking, please email supporterservices@tottenhamhotspur.com
For those who have booked accessible parking in advance, please be advised you will be sent the full information on your parking location with directions before the event.
Keeping you informed
Once you’re in the stadium, we shall endeavour to keep all spectators updated with live transport information so that you can plan your journey home after the match. Supporters are advised to check nationalrail.co.uk for full information.
With nearly 1,850 screens throughout the stadium, we’ll ensure that you do not miss any key information regarding public transport, as well as posting updates on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium social media.
Coaches
Coaches will park in the Goods Yard, which is less than a 10-minute walk from the stadium.
