Taylor Swift is heading back to London for a series of highly anticipated concerts at Wembley Stadium. The next five days are going to be a whirlwind as the pop superstar takes the stage for her Eras tour, and with a capacity of 90,000 people, the stadium is sure to be packed to the brim. As a result, there will be a lot of activity in the surrounding area and transportation networks are expected to be quite busy.
One of the main operators, Chiltern Railways, is advising customers to purchase their tickets beforehand and to plan their travels accordingly. While the closest station to the stadium is Wembley, there are other options available such as the London Underground, which is part of the Transport for London network. This network provides access to and from most major Tube stations in the city.
For those planning to travel from central London to Wembley Stadium for the Taylor Swift concerts, Chiltern Railways will be running extra trains during the event days. However, the services are still expected to be quite busy. Richard Allan, the managing director of Chiltern Railways, advises customers to travel as early as possible and to be aware of the queuing system in place at Wembley Stadium station after the event.
But fear not, there are other modes of transportation available. The nearest London Underground station is Wembley Park, which is just a 12-minute walk from the stadium. It is served by the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines, making it easily accessible from most major Tube stations. However, for those willing to take a longer walk before or after the concert, there are also options further away such as Stonebridge Park Station and North Wembley.
In other news, London is bracing for what could be the hottest day of the year and rental prices continue to skyrocket in the city. But for those attending the Taylor Swift concerts, the focus is on finding the best way to get to Wembley Stadium. A taxi is always an option, especially for those traveling with others, but be prepared to face potential traffic and higher costs. It may be worth requesting a pick-up point away from the stadium to avoid the crowds after the concerts.
For the more adventurous and energetic fans, there are city bikes available. While there are no Santander bikes at Wembley, the Lime bike app has bikes scattered between central London and Wembley, making it a convenient option for those looking to avoid overcrowded Tube stations. Travel influencer Candace Salters even shared a helpful tip on her Instagram for navigating the Tube during the Eras tour. She suggests taking the Jubilee line northbound from Wembley Park station for one stop and then switching to the southbound train at Kingsbury, where the platform is likely to be less busy.
Transport for London has reassured concert-goers that they are well-equipped to handle the influx of people during events at Wembley Stadium. They will be working closely with the stadium to ensure the safety and smooth transportation of all Swifties. In fact, in honor of Taylor Swift's concerts, TfL even released a special version of the Tube map featuring her albums and songs.
As an added measure of security, Wembley Stadium has also implemented extra precautions following a terror threat that resulted in the cancellation of Taylor's concert in Vienna. Extra private security staff, trained in counter-terrorism, will be present during the events to ensure the safety of all attendees. With all of these measures in place, fans can rest assured that they can enjoy the concerts without worrying about transportation or security.
