hantsred Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hillingdon Tube stop just of the M40. Cheap tube in and out and ample parking at station + reasonable rate(at least on Sunday when I last used it). Only negative is that it can be a bit of bun fight getting out of the car park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Londoner Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Or likewise Uxbridge if you want shops and food too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Westgate shopping centre. Shepards Bush into Central London. £15 a day parking. Edited August 17, 2022 by SimonL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Fuller's pub Fox and Goose Ealing. We stayed there when City played at Wembley 2015. Plenty of parking, regular buses to the stadium or about 45 minutes to walk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I've heard there's a hotel with parking in Uxbridge, with direct access to Wembley via the tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Often stay at Premier Inn Chiswick for London trips, just off M4, onsite parking and good tube links plus Chiswick is a great area for pubs, restaurants etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Theres 4 or 5 hotels outside the stadium, and parking in the industrial estates around there too, might be more expensive though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Head Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I normally drive to Richmond and park at the athletics ground. Try JustPark app. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t go anywhere near Shepherds Bush - traffic a nightmare. Further out as some others have said much easier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redysteadygo Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Go west of Wembley and avoid crowded tubes going to stops from and back to Central London 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the car park bit. I've not used it for a Wembley trip. Only other events. Also the entrance/exit is a little obstructed so you may miss it on the first pass.

WarksRobin Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 High Wycombe. You can get a direct train to Wembley and the return journey is easier than going into central London 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Easiest from the M4 is Chiswick The only issue is that it’s a bit more of a tube ride than say Uxbridge as you have go into Green Park to get the Jubilee line to take you to Wembley Park. Takes about 40 minutes on the tube but easy drive out on the way back. If it’s a Sunday you can park for free on Turnham Green Terrace (if you get there early enough to get a space) then get the tube at Turnham Green which is the very edge of Zone 2. It’s what I did with my son for both the 2012 Olympics and the JPT final in 2015. Back around 2000, I used to live around the corner off Chiswick High Street on the same street as John Thaw. Couldn’t afford it now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere on the Chiltern Line, from Wycombe or Amersham down, get a hotel there and a short trip into the smoke. Wycombe branch linked to Wembley.

You want the Banbury line so High Wycombe, Beaconsfield or Gerard’s Cross. High Wycombe has the biggest station and most train options, and there are reasonable budget hotels there too.

Yeah, true, Amersham is mebbe 30 mins to Marylebone...dunno about Wycombe (don't use that line) but the advantage it has is that it's on the same line as Wembley. Mind you, Wycombe's a dump, whereas Amersham's quite nice. PS Amersham also on the tube, although it takes about 3 years to get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted August 18, 2022 Admin Share Posted August 18, 2022 Basically you could ask anyone that has been to Wembley and we would all tell you something different Best is to do what suits you best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 16 hours ago, Richard Head said: I normally drive to Richmond and park at the athletics ground. Try JustPark app. Or the car park next to the station, which is not expensive compared to central London options. Another option is to get on the M3 and park at Basingstoke on The Anvil (a theatre with parking on the roof), which is 2 minutes' walk to Basingstoke railway station, from whence you are an hour regular service away from London. Long-term parking at The Anvil is really good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I was in London recently with a couple of friends and in or near Earls Court, Olympia way we got a family room- 3 separate beds, £44 per head per night...not bad, inclusive of breakfast (okay continental granted) and free wi-fi. Nice enough place too. Found the name- Mowbray Court Hotel. Dunno if that's a bit far- also dunno if (my friend did the booking) if it's always that affordable or was some special deal. Few minutes walk from Earls Court Tube Station too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devoncider Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Depends on timings/where you are coming from, but I have parked at Reading Station and got a quick train into Paddington. Pretty straightforward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooRya Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Watford is easy parking, and direct route into Wembley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
