Tottenham travel

Robbo on the wing
in Match Day Travel
Whats the craic with the weekend travel to Tottenham? Coming from Charlton, I was hoping to take advantage of travel from Stratford to Northumberland Park.
It would appear (from National Rail) that this journey is unavailable.
So fellow spotters, what next?

    Seems Northumberland Park is shut on Sunday ...
  • Elthamaddick
    I looked into going that way, no service this sunday by the looks of it, train to London Bridge, 15 min walk to Liv Street, pub and train to White Hart Lane is the way
  • ISawLeaburnScoreISawLeaburnScore
    12.30 is the last train from LS that will get you to WHL in reasonable time for kick off

    Get the 13.00 and you'll almost certainly miss the first few minutes (perhaps goals) LOL
  • raymondaoraymondao
    think i will park at the car park at tower of london (lower thames street) walk or bus to liverpool street and catch the train to the match, and if we win i will leave the car and go on the pizz, he he

    how they avoid the congestion fee.

    My son is going, train to Charing Cross, 2 minute trot down to Embankment tube, then circle line to Liverpool Street, 20 minutes from there to WHL.

    Other options, DLR from Woolwich Arsenal/Greenwich/Lewisham to Tower Gateway, quick hop to Tower Hill tube then circle line to Liverpool Street.

    That's me as well I think. Unless Mr Sin is paying the cab from Stratford?

    That made me laugh Adam!
  • cafcdan18
    Is the tube option- maybe Vic Line to Seven Sisters also a good route or do people think the Train from Liv St to WHL is better?
  • JimboCAFC

    why ?
  • nolly
    we like trains mate.
  • Screamer
    High speed from Gravesend to St. Pancras, then straight tube to Seven Sisters. Easy journey and not really fussed about the walk.
  • Southendaddick
    LOL at Jimbos route.

    Trainspotters heaven but about an hour longer than walking to Liv St from London Bridge.
  • JimboCAFC
    how is it transpotters hevean when the majority of the journey is by tube? you don't see people spotting tubes now do you?
  • Folev the redFolev the red
    liverpool street really is the easiest route.....especially if you're one of the essex addicks
  • CAFCdamoCAFCdamo
    Going up on the high speed from ashford then straight to seven sisters
    is it far from seven sisters or would it be worth it to get the 4 min train to WHL?
  • Off_itOff_it
    It's a long, horrible, but straight walk from Seven Sisters - plenty of buses go that way though. Worth getting the train if one's due (and you can get on it) but otherwise not worth waiting.
  • CAFCdamoCAFCdamo
    ok cheers , i'll probably get the train as theres one a couple of minutes after i get in and its not to expensive
  • Covered End
    Seven Sisters is 1.5 miles from the ground.

    Liverpool St to White Hart Lane overground is the way to go for most. 5 min walk to the ground.

    gonna go by car - any tips on where to park? (other than don't bother, traffics murder). Gonna get there early and possibly leave a bit late so could avoid some of the congestion as in hospitality.

    Jump on a bus from London Bridge mate, or get a cab or even walk really fast. you can do it in 20 mins.

    I meant to liverpool st for 12.30

    Northern Line to bank, central line from bank to Liv Street. Takes about 10 mins, used to do it all the time when I worked in Holborn.
  • Southendaddick
    12.52 looks like the last train that will get you there on time fellow spotters.
  • C.Walsh'sLoveChildC.Walsh'sLoveChild
    Quickest will be bus from London bridge to Liverpool street or cab obviously
  • ISawLeaburnScoreISawLeaburnScore
    According to John Boy's link there is a special timetable in operation on Sunday that isn't necessarily appearing on the timetable look-up sites

    12.52 from Liverpool Street gets you to WHL for 13.11 so buys you a bit more time
  • Low_Ears
    Bit of a result for us on the C2C line (Benfleet) as Fenchurch Street is shut so trains are re-directed to Liverpool Street. Should mean an extra 10 minutes in the pub

    Why didnt you just get the Central Line to Holborn? ;-)
  • Solaraddick
    Rail to WHL before the game, then walk/jog back to Seven Sisters to the tube afterwards, avoid queueing/herding of mass exodus after game

    Drive to somewhere convenient & then use public transport if you have to drive at all.
  • cafcdan18
    When I went to Spurs a couple of years ago, we got there early and parked in a car park diagonal to the club shop. Think it was a fiver to park. Was full up soon after but there are usually a few signs where it costs around a fiver to park.
  • StigStig
    Cheers for the info. I saw some reports of car parking costing up to £15 but even that's better than the £40 it will take to get three of us there on the train.
  • JohnBoyUKJohnBoyUK
    Its more like £10-15 to park in the makeshift car parks off Tottenham High Road.
    Would advise all to take public transport.

    And if you get there early, there's sweet fa for you all to do other than head into the ground early as none of the local pubs let in away fans.
  • cafcdan18
    Fair enough, I must be mistaken as thought it was only a fiver to park. Only been once and it was a couple of years back.

    You should know the hebrews by now. Any opportunity to make some money. They'll be claiming the VAT rise too soon ;-)

    Treu, was probably Arsenal, where it was cheaper. Get better value for money that end of town!
