Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has eight tour dates for her concerts lined up at Wembley Stadium on 21, 22 & 23 June and 15, 16, 17, 19 & 20 August 2024.
While Wembley can seat over 90,000 people, you can expect there will be thousands more fans flocking into the area to try to catch a glimpse or hear the music from outside the stadium, making the area even more congested than usual.
One of the biggest challenges for those who managed to get tickets will be getting to Wembley. Even just this past weekend, queues to get out of the area were hours long for the Champions League final. And if you plan to drive, you’ll need to be smart in your parking strategy, knowing how congested and limited the roads surrounding the stadium will be.
Here’s our advice for finding a parking space near the Taylor Swift concert at Wembley Stadium:
Book a parking space ahead of time near Wembley
For people driving to the concert, finding car parking near the stadium on someone’s driveway or at a nearby business through JustPark will be the simplest and most convenient option for car parking. Not only will it save you time and money on the day-of, but it will also give you guaranteed access to a parking space near Wembley and can offer flexibility that you won’t be able to find by using traditional car parks. Official stadium parking is already sold out, including their Blue Badge and EV charging spaces, and finding any available on-street parking will be near impossible, so we’d recommend securing a space in advance for peace of mind.
Using the JustPark app or website, you can search, find and reserve a space which should tick most of your boxes when looking for parking:
- You can search for spaces within walking distance of the stadium and get more affordable rates than local car parks or unsecured pop-up parking
- You should be able to escape the crowds more easily leaving your car in a slightly less congested area
- You can extend your parking session easily through the JustPark app if you’re facing delays getting out of the stadium crowds
- You can have peace of mind knowing that you’ve got a guaranteed parking space upon arrival
Given the popularity of the Eras Tour, we recommend booking a parking space ASAP so you don’t miss out on available options — even if you’re attending the August dates.
Park at a tube or train station and take public transport to Wembley
Wembley is well-connected to various transport lines and bus routes, making it easy to complete the tail end of your journey to the station affordably and without being in the crowded stadium car park. Wembley has several dedicated stations through TfL that connect to the tube and Overground, such as North Wembley and Wembley Central Station. Bus routes 18, 83, 92, 182, and 224, among others, also stop close to the stadium and offer frequent service from various parts of London.
For concert-goers heading to the stadium, parking at nearby tube or train stations and commuting in can be a convenient option. Here are the best stations to consider:
Stanmore Station
- Located on the Jubilee Line
- Ample parking nearby
- Approximately 15 mins to Wembley Park station
Harrow & Wealdstone Station
- Serves the Bakerloo Line and London Overground
- Good parking availability as low as £4
- About 10 minutes to Wembley Central station
Hillingdon Station
- Located on the Metropolitan Line
- Parking is still available starting at £4
- Around 30 minutes to Wembley Park station
Ruislip Station
- On the Metropolitan and Piccadilly Lines
- Plenty of low-cost parking options available
- Roughly 20 minutes to Wembley Park station
Parking at these stations and taking the tube or train into Wembley can help avoid the traffic and parking challenges directly around the stadium, making your concert experience less stressful.
Check if any parking restrictions have been put in place
Before heading to the event, it's crucial to check for any parking restrictions or road closures that might be in place. Brent Council has a standard Wembley-specific event day parking guide that will be in effect the day of the Taylor Swift concert to manage traffic flow and ensure public safety. If you plan to find on-street parking or navigate to a space by driving common routes, you can see if your route is affected on the Brent Council website linked above.
Live near Wembley? Rent out your driveway for extra income
Local residents can actually benefit from the surge of crowds coming in for sporting and music events all year long. If you’re a homeowner near Wembley and have an unused driveway, you can rent out your driveway to earn a side income and benefit those in need of car parking; it’s as easy as that. You can set your availability and pricing so you’re in full control of your space — plus, the first £1,000 is tax-free.
