Seven Sisters
Victoria line services will be operating every 2-3 minutes in each direction before and after the game. Supporters intending to travel on these services are encouraged to use Tottenham Hale rather than Seven Sisters as it is a shorter journey to and from the stadium.
Pre-match, a diversion route will be in place at Birstall Road for pedestrians entering Seven Sisters station for interchange between the Victoria line and London Overground services. This is to avoid congestion on the northbound platform.
From station to stadium
To make your journey to the stadium easier, we have installed wayfinding signage from train stations to the stadium.
Upon leaving the stadium, please refer to the digital wayfinding signs, then follow our on-street wayfinding signs to your chosen station.
Walking routes back to your chosen station are normally different due to post-match queue management arrangements. Please listen to the advice of stewards and station staff.
At each station, we encourage supporters to make use of the full length of the platform. Moving down the length of the platform will speed up the loading of the trains and decrease the waiting times for your fellow spectators.
Buses | TfL Buses
The stadium is well-served by TfL buses, with some services diverted during the road closure period.
Before and during the game, services that normally run up and down the High Road (149, 259, 279 and 349) will be diverted to the east of the stadium at Lansdowne Road, re-joining the High Road at the Northumberland Park junction.
Bus diversions will be minimised, so they are back operating on the High Road as soon as possible after the final whistle.
Shuttle Buses
A shuttle bus service operates between the stadium and Alexandra Palace (Great Northern Services) and Wood Green (Piccadilly Line) stations. The service begins three hours before the match and runs until two hours afterwards. We strongly recommend arriving at the shuttle bus stop at least one hour before kick-off to allow for the travel time and security checks at the stadium.
The Great Northern Line will operate six trains per hour each way through Alexandra Palace throughout the day. The shuttle bus pick-up point from this station is located on Station Road, opposite the station entrance.
For fans travelling from Wood Green, when leaving the station look out for the signage directing you to the station exit, turning right up the Wood Green High Road. Marshals in high-vis jackets will be present to direct you to the bus loading point.
The drop-off point will be Haringey Sixth Form College on White Hart Lane – a five-minute walk from the stadium. The journey is then reversed after the game, with all buses stopping at Alexandra Palace and Wood Green.
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.
