TRAVEL
By road:

Directions
At the end of the M54 continue onto the A5. After about seven miles, there is a traffic island which is at the junction with the A49. Bear left at this island still following the A5. On reaching Shrewsbury ignore the signs for Shrewsbury Town Centre (signposted A5064 town centre/crematorium), at the first roundabout you come to, but instead continue along the A5. Then go straight across at the next roundabout, still on the A5 and then at the next roundabout turn right towards Shrewsbury on the A5112 (sign posted town centre/park & ride). You will pass a Retail Park on your right and then at the next roundabout you take the 4th exit onto the B4380 towards Oteley (also sign posted golf course). The stadium is a short way down this road on the right, just as you go over the railway bridge.

There is a large car park at the stadium.

Shrewsbury train station is around two miles away from the stadium. So it should take around 25 minutes to walk. Otherwise you can grab a taxi up to the ground, or take a bus from the town centre bus station (service numbers 16, 23, 25 & 544/546 all stop near to the stadium).

Shrewsbury train station is served by trains from Birmingham New Street & Crewe.

ARSENAL V COVENTRY CITY 

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 26TH AT 7.45PM TBC

AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM, LONDON, N51BU

_______________________________________

By Car

Leave the M1 at Junction 2 and onto the A1, following the signs for City (Central London). Keep going on the A1 for around six miles, until you see Holloway Road Tube Station on your right. Take the next left at the traffic lights into Hornsey Road and the stadium is about a 1/4 of a mile further down this road. 

There is little parking at the stadium itself or in nearby streets. An extensive
 residents only parking scheme operates around the stadium on matchdays. It's probably better to park further out of London around a tube station such as Cockfosters and get the tube to the ground. 

By Tube and Rail
Arsenal (Piccadilly Line) is the nearest tube station, around three minutes walk from the ground. Finsbury Park (Victoria, Piccadilly Lines and Great Northern rail) and Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line, North London Line and Great Northern rail) stations are around a 10-minute walk - these should be slightly less crowded.

King's Cross is the main connecting station for national rail and many underground lines. From here you can travel to the ground via the Piccadilly Line (to Arsenal) or the Victoria Line (to Highbury & Islington). Alternatively, a short overground rail journey of one stop will take you to Finsbury Park station.

Bus is a fast and convenient option with connections passing the ground on all sides. Main bus stops are located on Holloway Road, Nag's Head, Seven Sisters Road, Blackstock Road and Highbury Corner. High frequency services will take you within a five to 10 minute walk of the ground and direct routes cover much of north and central London.

Further information on buses is available through www.tfl.gov.uk
