Wondering what everyone's opinion is on driving down?
Bunch of lads how have A level exams on Monday, so we can't stay for the weekend. Setting off at 7:30 on Sunday morning and driving to a tube station on outskirts of London, to avoid the ridiculous prices for parking at Wembley.
Anyone have any recommendations of what station too drive up to?

Stanmore is the most popular as its the end of the Jubilee line - try Canons Park or Queensbury (next two stops down) as they are easier to park and get out of!

I was thinking the same but if there's 4 of you in a car wont it cost more on the tube there & back than the Wembley parking. As much as I begrudge paying the extortionate parking charges it may be false economy.

It will be false economy if desperate to get home quick I'd go for a park in my drive scenario around Wembley

A friend of mine who went to the Wrexham game parked at Canons Park rather that park at Wembley. He said that he stopped at a service station on the M1 (he lives in York) and there were already Wrexham coaches there, so they had got away from Wembley far quicker than they had got back to the tube station and got away from there, even though they would have stayed back after the game a lot longer than our fans did.

As has been mentioned too, I think the lowest price on the tube now is about a fiver so maybe worth parking at Wembley if there is 4 of you,

Plus the non-refundable £3 the card costs to buy if you haven't already got one.

If you have a bank or credit card with contactless payment you can use these the same as an oyster card so Stanmore to Wembley park would be £1.50 each way as long as you remember to swipe your card both ends

I think you have to register the card you intend to use on the tfl website first, before you can use it.
