Most Saints fans who travel up to Wembley on Boxing Day will have been at the League Cup Final last season, but it is a different kettle of fish for Spurs home games there.

Getting There By Car

Wembley is a public transport destination and supporters are strongly advised to avoid driving. During peak traffic, public transport is the best option. If you wish to drive please note that no parking is available at the Stadium or in the surrounding streets. Although there are companies on the nearby Industrial Estate who will provide parking at a cost.

Saints fans are advised to look at finding a station a little further out on the Metropolitan line park there and get the train into Wembley Park tube station.

Getting there by train

Although there are no trains from Southampton to London there are services in London and on the Underground.

For up to date travel information for the London area, fans are advised to consult the Transport for London website before planning their journeys. Wembley Central Overground station is due to be closed on matchday.

Wembley Park Underground station is served by both the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines. On arrival at Wembley Park, stairs from the ticketing hall will guide you down onto Olympic Way from where the Stadium will be clearly visible. A 10 minute walk will bring you to the front of the Stadium.

Wembley Stadium station is on the Chiltern train line. This line services the Midlands, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. London trains on this line depart from Marylebone station. On arrival at the station the Stadium will be clearly visible.

Eating Drinking Etc

The designated pub for away supporters is the Green Man, which is located on Dagmar Avenue on Wembley Hill. For many years this pub has been a popular venue for fans visiting Wembley Stadium and is around a 15-20 minute walk away. The pub also offers parking which is free for coaches, but minibuses & cars are charged £20 and £15 respectively, these should be pre-booked. See the Green Man Hotel website for more details and location map.

Although there are plenty of other pubs and bars around Wembley, most of these do not admit visiting supporters. Otherwise, it may be an idea to plan to drink in Central London before the game or at a pub located near to one of the tube stations such as Harrow-on-the-Hill, that are on the same tube line to Wembley.

Near to the stadium is the London Designer Outlet which has a number of eating places such as TGI Fridays, Frankie & Benny’s and Nando’s, which also serve alcohol. Beer is also available to buy within Wembley Stadium itself in the form of pints of Carlsberg Lager (£4.95), Somersby Cider (£4.95) and Tetley's Bitter (£4.50).
