Hey, i will be travelling down with the toon for these 2 away matches, i'll be driving down on the morning of the match and was wondering if any of you guys know any close travel lodge/premier inn etc that are in suitable distance of the grounds, cheers

Stay at Gustov's house, he's from down there

Just have a google? Or look for a B+B that's close by as that might work out cheaper.

i think i might have to befriend this "gustov" tell him im heading down with company!

Just turn up

I'm sure his parents won't mind

Look at local B&B's as they might do one night cheaper then a hotel

If you don't mind paying the tube fares back and forth from the ground, then you'd have a massive choice really, as you could get yourself a room wherever in London.

The Congestion Charge only applies on weekdays, so you'd be fine for that.

But yeah, driving round London is still a pain in the arse. Having looked at it, I think I'd almost recommend staying somewhere like Potter's Bar, just outside the M25, and then getting the train in. For the Emirates that's perfect, as you can jump off at Finsbury Park (only a ten minute journey) and walk to the stadium from there.

Unless it suggests a B&B in Finsbury Park. :eek:

Yeah think i'll have a good look into doing this mate thanks, if in doubt can fly down for £85 then the world is my oyster!!

how much would a taxi cost from the emirates to potters bar?!

Weebull · 2 Aug 2011 at 18:28

Planning on a late one?

God knows but I expect it would be expensive. Trains run until 1am, apparently. Though if it's going to be late, you might be better off staying somewhere within London itself then. Then it would only be night buses to get back.
