- Public transport
- You should get off at the Arsenal tube station on the Piccadilly line. It is only a few minutesβ walk from here to the stadium. On exiting the station turn right and follow Drayton Park Road around to the left. Then walk over the bridges over the railway line to the stadium. Other tube stations in walking distance of the stadium are Finsbury Park on the Piccadilly Line and Highbury & Islington on the Victoria Line.
You can take a train to Finsbury Park Railway Station from London Kings Cross. It is then about a 10 to 15 minute walking it from Finsbury Park to the stadium. Drayton Park Station which is situated right by the stadium is not open at the weekends which could be of use to the police to disperse the crowd quicker after the game but can be used for evening mid week games to get away from the ground
quicker.
