You've got a Wembley good time planned! But how to get there from Euston Station?
So, you've snagged yourself a ticket to a roaring concert or a nail-biting footie match at the legendary Wembley Stadium. But hold on a mo, mate! Euston Station is a good few strides from the hallowed turf. Fear not, intrepid traveller! This guide will have you navigating like a seasoned Londoner in no time.
The Tube: Your trusty steed (and fastest option)
The London Underground, or the Tube as the cool kids call it, is your best bet for a swift and scenic journey. Just hop on the Northern Line (mind the gap!) at Euston Square station. Sit back, relax (and maybe avoid making eye contact for that authentic London experience) for a breezy 19-minute ride to Wembley Park station. From there, it's a short walk or a cheeky little hop on a local bus to Wembley Stadium itself. Easy peasy!
Top Tip: If you're travelling during peak hours, the Tube can get a tad snug (like a particularly enthusiastic cuddle from your nan). Try to avoid rush hour if you value your personal space (and your sanity).
The Bus: A more leisurely (and budget-friendly) option
For the more leisurely explorer (or the penny-pincher), the bus is a perfectly viable option. The 18 bus will take you from Euston Station directly to Wembley Stadium, with a journey time of around an hour. This route offers a grand tour of London's charming backstreets (translation: some potentially interesting sights along the way). Just be prepared to share your ride with fellow adventurers, from students to commuters.
Bonus points: If you snag a seat on the top deck at the front, you might even get a (partially obstructed) view of the iconic Wembley arch!
The Taxi: For the flashpacker or the fashionably late
Feeling a bit fancy? Or maybe you're running a tad behind schedule (because, let's be honest, who hasn't overslept for a big event?). A taxi will whisk you from Euston to Wembley in about 30 minutes, depending on traffic. This is obviously the priciest option, but hey, you'll arrive in style (and hopefully not miss the first goal).
Just a heads-up: London traffic can be a nightmare, so factor that in when considering a taxi.
The Black Cab vs Uber Debate: Choose your chariot wisely
Ah, the age-old question. Black cabs are iconic, but can be more expensive. Uber might be cheaper, but you might get stuck waiting for a driver. Ultimately, the choice is yours, grasshopper. Just make sure you factor in surge pricing if you choose Uber during peak times.
Whichever option you choose, remember to bring your Oyster card (for the Tube and bus) or your preferred payment method (for taxi or Uber). And most importantly, relax and enjoy the journey!
