Arsenal Football Club - Highbury Stadium

By Road

From The North

Get onto the M1 and come off at Junction 2 and follow the signs for the 'City'. After about 6 miles you go past Holloway Road Station, take the 3rd turning on the left into Drayton Park Road. Three quarters of a mile later turn right into Avenell Road, then find somewhere to park in the surrounding streets.

From The South

Head for the Thames and go over the river at London Bridge, then follow signs for 'Bank of England' then to Angel (Islington). At the traffic lights turn right (signposted 'The North') and after a mile go straight across the roundabout for Holloway Road. Take the third turning on the right into Drayton Park Road and three quarters of a mile later turn right into Avenell Road. Then find somewhere to park in the surrounding streets.

By Train

Arsenal (Piccadilly line) is the nearest tube, right outside the ground. Finsbury Park (Victoria & Piccadilly tube lines and train station) is a 10 minute walk, but slightly less crowded.

By Tube

Highbury has to be one of the easiest grounds to get to in London ? simply get off the tube at Arsenal (Piccadilly Line, Zone 2), and you are there. However, getting back into Central London or any other destination after the game is a total nightmare. You maybe better off going to Finsbury Park or Highbury and Islington tube stations and avoid the long and boring queues going home. Highbury and Islington tube station is a twenty minute walk away from the stadium. It is on the Great Northern Line and on the Victoria Line of the Underground. Come out of the station, cross the road over to the Barclays Bank on the corner and keep going towards the park. Walk straight down to the end of Highbury Place with the park on the left hand side. When you reach the end of the park walk left along Highbury Hill. This will take you to the stadium. Finsbury Park tube station is about fifteen minutes away from the ground. Turn right out of the tube station, past the bus station and turn right down the hill until you come across Seven Sisters Road. Go straight over into St Thomas's Road. When it divides take the right fork and continue up to the ground.

By Bus

Take Numbers 4, 19, and 236 which go along Highbury Grove to Blackstock Road, from here it is a 5-10 minute walk to turnstiles.

Car Parking

Car parking at this ground is a bit of a nightmare. Virtually all the back streets are residents only, with a permit system in operation (...and don't think you won't get caught, because believe me, you will!). By far the best way to get to this ground is by tube, with many fans parking at tube stations on the Piccadily line (...primarily 'Cockfosters' & 'Arnos Grove' stations, as these have large cars parks), and then getting the tube to the ground.
