Today, I wanna share some tips about how to get to the London Stadium. You know, I went there last week, and it was a bit of a mess figuring out the best way to get there. So, I thought I’d write down my experience to help anyone else planning a visit.
First off, I started by looking up the location. The London Stadium is that big, multi-purpose place in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, over in Stratford. It used to be called the Olympic Stadium, so some folks still call it that.
- Planning the Trip:
I figured the easiest way to get there was by public transport. I mean, driving in London? Forget about it! So, I checked out the train options. Turns out, Stratford Station is the closest, and it’s pretty well-connected.
- Taking the Train:
Getting to Stratford Station was a breeze. There are loads of trains going there from different parts of London. I hopped on one, and it was a pretty smooth ride. Once I got to Stratford, I wasn’t quite sure how to get to the stadium itself.
- Finding the Way from the Station:
I saw signs for the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, so I started walking that way. There are also buses, like the D8 and 473, that go to the Stratford City Bus Station, which is near the stadium. But I decided to walk since it wasn’t too far.
- Walking to the Stadium:
The walk was okay. I followed the signs, and it took me about 15-20 minutes. I noticed some construction going on – something about gas main repairs. But it didn’t really affect my walk. If you’re a Spurs supporter, there’s a specific route that takes you to Bridge 4, which is close to the away turnstiles. I’m not a Spurs fan, but good to know, I guess.
- Checking Out the Map:
Before I went, I did look at a map of the stadium online. It showed all the seat numbers and blocks, which I thought was pretty handy. I didn’t need it to get there, but it was useful to know where my seat was beforehand.
- Final Thoughts:
All in all, getting to the London Stadium wasn’t too bad. Taking the train to Stratford and then walking is probably the best bet. Just give yourself enough time, especially if there’s an event going on. And don’t forget to check out a map of the stadium before you go – it makes things a lot easier!
Oh, and one more thing I found out – apparently, Wembley Stadium is also a great place to tour. It’s impressive, and the tour is really good. You get to go pitch-side and even into the royal box. Might check that out next time!
Anyway, that’s my little adventure to the London Stadium. Hope this helps someone out there. Cheers!
