Wembley Stadium will be packed for the next five days as Taylor Swift brings more Eras tour concerts to London.

The stadium in north-west London has capacity for 90,000 people, so it’s safe to say transport networks in the area will also be busy over the coming days.

Chiltern Railways, the main operators to and from London Marylebone station, told customers to buy their tickets before travelling as services will be busier than usual.

While Wembley railway station is closest to the stadium, there are other ways to get to there, such as the Underground, which is part of the Transport for London (TfL) network.

Travelling from central London to Wembley Stadium for Taylor Swift concerts

While Chiltern Railways will have more trains to and from Wembley Stadium during the concert days, the services will still be busy.

Richard Allan, the managing director of Chiltern Railways, said: ‘Our advice to customers is to expect trains to be busy, to travel as early as possible, and to be aware that a will be a queuing system in place for customers catching the train from Wembley Stadium station after the event.’

Luckily, the train is not the only way to get there.

The nearest London Underground station is Wembley Park, which is about 12 minute walk (without any crowds).

It is served by the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines on the Underground which gives access to and from most major London Tube stations.

If you don’t mind the walk before the hours-long concert or after, the wild-card options further away are Stonebridge Park Station and North Wembley.

Both are around 30 minutes away on foot, with service by the Overground and Underground’s Bakerloo line.

If you don’t mind a potential wait in the traffic and dishing out the cash, a taxi could be an option, especially if you’re travelling with others. To avoid the crowds especially after the concerts, requesting a pick-up point away from the stadium could help.

Last but not least are the city bikes if you’re feeling energetic. There are no Santander bikes at Wembley, but Lime bikes app appears to have bikes dotted around between central London and Wembley. This could help you to get to a less busy Tube station if cycling all the way is too far.

Travel influencer Candace Salters previously shared a hack for the London Eras tour on her Instagram ahead of the Eras tour gigs in June.

She suggested fans take the Jubilee line northbound from Wembley Park station away from central London for one stop to Kingsbury, then get on the southbound train.

Candace said the northbound platform is likely to be less busy than the southbound one.

This way you will already get a spot on the carriage by the time it rolls into the packed Wembley Park.

Transport for London said the capital’s transport network, including Wembley Park station, is used to handling crowds during concerts, matches and events.

It will work closely with Wembley Stadium, with crowd control measures in place on public transport to ensure ‘all Swifties get to and from the concerts safely,’ TfL said.

In June, TfL delighted fans by revealing ‘Taylor’s Version’ of the Tube map, with line and stations named after her albums and songs.

Wembley Stadium is taking extra security measures after Taylor’s Vienna gigs had to be cancelled following a terror threat.

Now the stadium is thought to have added extra private security staff specialising in counter-terrorism.
