when I went with my mate a few years ago he drove down to rickmansworth we had a few beers around there before getting the tube to wembley.

Any tube stations on the edge are easy enough just have to check opening times etc

If you're driving from the North, then parking at Watford and getting the Metropolitan Line direct to Wembley Park is very easy.

 

If you're coming in on the train via London, then we always get the train from London Marylebone to Wembley Stadium station (overland) and have no problem getting away after.

The Chiltern Railways mainline has a few services that drop off at Wembley stadium.

 

There's some info here:

As Rob said, Chiltern Railways is good as it takes you right to the stadium. Beaconsfield always has parking spaces but the cost for the train is quite expensive.

 

If you want to park, the Green Man Hotel is cheaper than £27 so I would try there. They have a website for online booking if you google it.

 

Other than that, I would say Stanmore tube station. It's the start of the line to Wembley Park station. Brings you right in to the top of Wembley way, which would be great for the kids until a tramp throws up on their shoes...............

Where are you travelling from?

For the Anglo Italian final (18 years ago admittedly) we parked up at Stanmore and went into Wembley on the Jubilee line.

 

It was really easy.

When I watch England I always park at High Wycombe & catch the train direct to Wembley stadium station.

As someone who uses Chiltern Railways for my commute every weekday I would recommend them. They usually come out on top of the annual railway commuter ratings as they are generally reliable and organised.

 

I've used the Wembley service myself (although for a kids event at the exhibition centre rather than a game) and it's pretty decent. You can get off at Wembley just a short walk from the stadium.

 

As Cheltenham Valiant says - you can park at High Wycombe (there's a big multi-storey car park here and it's probably only 10 mins drive onto the M40). If its a midweek match then if you park after 4pm then the off-peak car park charge is £4.50. If it's a Saturday match then the parking is £4.50 any time of the day.

 

Wycombe also has a nice real-ale pub just over the road from the station if you want to use that pre or post match. It has a website here - http://www.thebootleggerpub.co.uk/Default.asp It has a clever concept of "Bring your own food" and there are a load of pizza/fast food places just around the corner. You can even ring in your order from the pub and get it delivered if you can't be bothered to walk.

Not sure if anyone will be able to help me out, but I am also attending this game. I will be travelling from Woking into waterloo and then on to Wembley. The travelling isnt the issue its where best to get a beer on that route. I have been to Wembley many times to watch England and personally think it is poor for a drink so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
