FA Cup Final | What time are you setting off and from where?

[jimharri]

I am in the Elizabeth Line from Heathrow on the way to my hotel.
I am 55 years old and i can not remember the last time that i was so excited about going to the match.
COME ON CITY

FFS, you're a mere kid.

My favourite thread of the season this hearing how we’re all on the move , absolutely love this .

It is interesting, innit? A bit "planes, trains and automobiles". Sort of.

That a bit of a tricky one, isn’t it?
Looks to me as though you’ve got to get across to Amersham (not sure how far away you are, never heard of Beaconsfield, which is odd, because I grew up in places like Pinner, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Hatch End, so I should know it!), either in your own car, or get someone to drive you, or Uber. Once you’re there, you’re home free — Met line into Wembley Park.
Obviously, you want to think ahead about arrangements for the return trip.

beaconsfield usually easy to wembley but a train strike not so good
either drive to elizabeth line or amersham and tube other option is heathrow / hounslow 15 mins drive and then tube

Drive to Chorleywood - a great pub right next to the station car park called the Old Shepherd.
5 stops to Wembley

Driving down the M1 now to Northampton to stay at my Uncles and setting off early tomorrow. Motorway is already lively we’ve just driven past a car full of blues and waved my scarf out the window. Cmon City!

Just arrived at hotel after driving from Macclesfield. Staying at Watford junction so jumping on train to Wembley.

Leaving mid Kent 9.15 driving to Abbey Wood Station which is sort of SE London / Kent border. Elizabeth line tube into Farringdon, few beers and brekkie in pub then back on tube to wembley park.

You could also do Uxbridge or Amersham but I picked Hillingdon as parking seemed the best and it's straight onto the A40/M40 after the game.

Going Amersham myself, there is an 1100 capacity multi storey by the station.

Elizabeth line, maybe. Haven’t used it as yet. Hounslow/Heathrow would leave him with one hell of a trek up to Wembley Park or Wembley Central, with a couple of changes, and many stops.

Try Mabel’s. South of the Euston Rd. Seemed to be City friendly when I was there. Fairly pleasant pub anyway.

The Lucas Arms is a good shout, traditional small pub and reasonable prices.

Found a place on the Euston Road called the Euston Flyer. It's alright, despite some bloke banging out "Let me entertain you" on an acoustic guitar. Amstel at £6 a pint, not too bad for London prices, I suppose.
