England

Post by notts1862 »

Morning all. I'm due to watch England on 5 September obviously at Wembley. I need parking ideas outside of Wembley. Stanmore has been mentioned but where to park at Stanmore. Or as anyone got any other ideas. Cheers all.

What about travelling to London by either train or coach and then getting the tube and/or bus to Wembly?

Have a look on justpark, get a spot on someone’s drive for under 15 quid.

The station car park at Stanmore will be £37.50 for 4 hours or over. There is a company called justpark.com who rent out private parking on people's driveways, which for around Stanmore would be about £7.50 - £11.00 for 5 hours.
I would suggest you look for somewhere further out and get the underground into Wembley. The Metropolitan and Jubilee lines go directly into Wembley Park.
I used to go to Watford on the Metropolitan line and a lot of people seemed to use the NCP car park next to the station to go into Wembley on match days. I believe the charge is £3 for all day parking, but there are only 70 spaces, so might fill up, and you can't reserve a place.
You could use the ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park/car-parks/watford-stn-tfl/ and the justpark.com websites to find somewhere suitable and get prices.

Edit: The advantage of Watford is that is near the end of the M1 motorway which I assume you will be using to get to London.

Stanmore underground station car park is only £6 per day, probably need to book in advance for the England game though to guarantee a space.

You are correct. The NCP website shows £6 a day for Stanmore station.
I had looked at this:
