Last night, Taylor Swift took the stage at Wembley Stadium in London, marking her return to the city as part of her highly-anticipated Eras concert tour. The singer kicked off the first of five shows, with performances also scheduled for tonight, tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday. For those lucky enough to have snagged a ticket, the thought of navigating the inevitable post-concert crowds may be causing some concern. But fear not, as travel guide website Love and London has shared some helpful tips on how Swifties can avoid the chaos.
Firstly, leaving the concert a little early may be a wise move. In a video posted on their Instagram page, Eliza Rain, a fan who attended Swift's June show, suggests leaving during the last song, "Karma." While some may feel hesitant about missing even a minute of the show, Eliza assures that this is the best time to make a swift (pun intended) exit.
Love and London's second tip is to opt for Wembley Central railway station instead of the popular Wembley Park tube station. Though it may require a slightly longer walk (around 20 minutes compared to Wembley Park's 10 minutes), Eliza notes that it is likely to be less crowded and may save you time in the long run. From Wembley Park, you can take an Overground train to Euston. So why not take a short walk to Wembley Central and avoid the queues at Wembley Park?
If Wembley Park is your preferred station and you're heading towards central London, Eliza suggests taking the tube one stop in the opposite direction. For example, if you're on the Jubilee line, travel towards Stanmore and get off at Kingsbury. Then, change platforms and hop on a tube to Stratford. This way, you may be able to avoid the crowds and snag a seat on the train.
For those who may get anxious in large crowds or have mobility issues, Love and London's final tip is to book a taxi to arrive an hour after the show ends. This allows you to skip the stations altogether and gives you some time to grab some merchandise or enjoy a drink at a nearby bar or restaurant. As a Swift fan herself, Eliza understands the desire to stay until the very end and hopes this tip can help alleviate some stress.
In response to the video, many social media users expressed their gratitude and shared their own tips. Some joked about keeping their secret of taking the tube one stop in the opposite direction, while others were adamant about staying until the very end. For those looking for more ways to avoid the crowds at Wembley, Love and London has a helpful guide with more tips and tricks. So, whether you're a die-hard Swiftie or simply trying to make your way home after a fantastic concert, these tips may just come in handy.
