Getting to a gig in North London by car and then train

[Claw75]

Think West Ruislip has a bigger carpark. Where I normally park for a trip to London.

well next time you can park at my place too if you like.  It's free, and if you're lucky you might get a cuppa as well!

Looking at the tube journeys, some are saying that "Planned engineering works are taking place".  Anything to be worried about, or just standard?

it might mean that some lines are closed completely so you'll need to check out exactly what that means.

The title of this thread causes me unbearabe pain.

shouldn't be anything to worry about as it's not a w/end. only the Viccy line closing early but you won't be on that

They won't affect you - they're for places away from where you'll be.

Just park there and sit in the queues.  It'll take ages, but you can sit there listening to your own stuff.  Taking the trains take ages too, but you get shoved about all over the place so you don't recognise as much. 

Top gig though, enjoy - quite jealous.

Is it the Stadium or the Arena?  I guess the Stadium in which case parking will be painful, but if it's the Arena, driving should be fine.  Western Club isn't too far away, drop the car off there, few cash games afterwards!

I drive to Stanmore....big car park and on the right line.
M1 J4 go to roundabout turn right....stay on road can't miss it

i find this the best when travelling down from the north just 4 stops on the tube and if you want a drink and food before don't bother with wembley get of the tube one stop before go out of the tube station turn left and there is 2 pubs the 2nd one is better for food and the 1st one has the racing on

Yes - good tip. The food inside Wembley is both expensive and diabolical.

Thanks for the all the advice everyone - much appreciated .

Obviously, I can't follow everyone's advice and I've decided (rightly or wrongly) to go for South Ruislip station and park at Claw's.

Make sure you give her 50p to 'watch your car'.

I'm used to it being a fiver, and it being a little scally asking me for the money near Anfield.

50p is a bargain, and I get to tell her a bad-beat story at the same time!
