How to travel to Taylor Swift's Eras tour concert at London's Wembley Stadium

Taylor Swift is here – and the capital is set to be taken over by Swifties.

This weekend, she will perform the first three of eight shows in total this summer at Wembley stadium, with more than 700,000 people heading to London to see the American starlet.

Around 90,000 are expected to attend each night of the concert, so it’s safe to say it is going to be slightly busy in the area this weekend.

The US superstar has already played shows in Edinburgh, Liverpool and Cardiff, and arrives at Wembley amid a frenzy of fan excitement.

British and Irish fans have waited more than a year for the show to arrive, since Swift kicked off her marathon string of dates in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023.

Since then, she has crossed the US, Asia and South America and made stops across Europe, often accompanied by her boyfriend, the NFL star Travis Kelce.

If you want the night to go as smoothly as possible, it’s worth planning your pre- and post-Eras travel plans ahead of time to avoid ending up in claustrophobic queues, which is where we come in.

Here’s what you need to know about getting to and from the Eras tour at Wembley stadium.

The best way get to Taylor Swift’s concert in London

Tube

The easiest way to get to and from Wembley for your Swift fix is definitely also the fastest. Unfortunately, it is likely to be the busiest.

Wembley Park station is on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, while Wembley Central is on the Bakerloo line and Overground (not the Tube, but still operated by TfL) and both will get you to Wembley stadium with a short walk up.

After the concert, expect queues along Wembley Way. These always tend to be very long.

Train

Another way to get to and from the concert is by train, but that also includes using stations which are set to be very busy – both before and after.

Wembley Stadium station is served by Chiltern Railways with direct services to Marylebone. 

Bus and coach

If you’re travelling from another city by coach, National Express runs services which will take you straight to the stadium, which you can book here. However, if you are getting a service which is heading into Victoria bus station, it is probably easiest to travel to the stadium by bus or Tube from Victoria.

There are several local bus services that serve Wembley stadium, including 18/N18, 83/N83, 92, 182, 206, 223, 297 and 483. 

You can plan a journey to Wembley station, starting from any destination on the Transport For London route planner, which you can find here.

Car

The venue recommends anyone who is physically able to use public transport does so but, if you do come by car, you must book a parking space in advance. Unfortunately, this service is already sold out.

If you are a blue badge holder and hold specific accessibility requirements, there is detailed information available here for you to ensure you are able to safely and easily access the stadium.
