Getting there
Four ways to Wembley
The Jubilee and Metropolitan lines run direct to Wembley Park. Wembley Central is the quiet escape afterwards.
Jubilee line to Wembley Park
The easiest move. Direct from Bond Street (18 min), Westminster (20 min), Waterloo (25 min) and London Bridge (28 min) to Wembley Park, then a 12-minute walk up Olympic Way to the gates. Trains run every 3–5 minutes before doors.
Direct · 12-min walk up Olympic WayMetropolitan line to Wembley Park
Also direct to Wembley Park — best from Baker Street (15 min), King's Cross (22 min) and Farringdon. Shares the station with the Jubilee, so it's the same 12-minute Olympic Way walk. Slightly less frequent than the Jubilee.
Best from Baker St & King's CrossWembley Central (the quiet exit)
Bakerloo line and Overground, a 15-minute walk from the stadium. Far calmer than Wembley Park straight after the show — the locals' escape route. Ideal if you're coming from Harrow, Stonebridge Park or Hackney.
15-min walk · quietest afterDon't drive — it's an event zone
Event parking is scarce, expensive and gridlocked afterwards, with a controlled parking zone across the area. If you must drive, park out near a Jubilee/Metropolitan or Overground stop and finish the trip by train.
CPZ in force · no easy parkingTiming & tactics
Beat the crowds
Before the show
- 2+ hrs before: Relaxed — eat around Wembley Park or the London Designer Outlet, stroll down Olympic Way
- 90 min before: Comfortable — bag checks and 90,000 people take time, get in early
- 60 min before: Getting busy — Olympic Way and the platforms start to crowd
- 30 min before: Congested — real risk of missing the support act / opening
- 15 min before: Very congested — you'll likely miss the start
After the show
- Best option: Walk 15 min to Wembley Central (Bakerloo + Overground) — far quieter than the main exit
- Option 2: Wembley Park (Jubilee + Met) — managed queues, expect 45–90 min to clear
- Option 3: Wembley Stadium rail (Chiltern to Marylebone) — closest but only ~2 trains/hr, check times
- ⚠ Avoid: Joining the Olympic Way crush the instant it ends — it's the slowest way out
Insider tip: the Wembley Central escape
While 60,000+ funnel into Wembley Park, the 15-minute walk to Wembley Central (Bakerloo + Overground) usually gets you on a train in a fraction of the time. The locals' move on a sold-out night.
Check your last train — especially weeknights
The Jubilee and Metropolitan run late from Wembley Park (around 00:15–00:30), but Chiltern services from Wembley Stadium station finish earlier. With a ~10:30pm curfew you'll usually be fine — just confirm on the night before you head in.

Know before you go
The Wembley rules that catch people out on the night.
Small bags only
A4-size or smaller, and bag drop is limited. Travel light — anything bigger and you risk being turned away or stuck in checks.
It's fully cashless
Card, contactless and phone only at every bar and kiosk inside Wembley. No cash accepted anywhere.
Mobile tickets · no re-entry
Load your ticket into your wallet before you arrive — signal dies in the crowd. Once you leave you can't come back in.
Local knowledge
Insider shortcuts
Walk to Wembley Central, skip the crush
It's 15 minutes and the Bakerloo/Overground shift crowds far faster than the managed queues at Wembley Park.
Metropolitan beats the Jubilee from the City
Coming from King's Cross, Farringdon or Baker Street? The Met is direct and often less packed than the Jubilee on a show night.
Tap a contactless card you actually own
Daily/weekly capping means you rarely need a paper ticket. One card per person — don't share, it breaks the cap.
Arrive 90 minutes early to enjoy it
Bag checks and 90,000 people take time. Get in early, grab food inside, and you'll be relaxed before he's on.
Eat at the London Designer Outlet first
Right by Wembley Park with loads of restaurants — far easier than queuing for kiosks once you're inside.
Screenshot your route home before you go in
Phone signal dies with 90,000 people around you. Know your platform and last-train time in advance.

Common questions
The Weeknd London FAQ
What's the nearest station to The Weeknd at Wembley Stadium?
Wembley Stadium National Rail station (Chiltern Railways from Marylebone) is the closest at a 5-minute walk, but only ~2 trains an hour serve it. Wembley Park (Jubilee + Metropolitan lines) is the main hub, a 12-minute walk up Olympic Way, with the most frequent service from central London. Wembley Central (Bakerloo + Overground) is a 15-minute walk and the quietest after the show.
What time does The Weeknd start at Wembley?
Stadium doors typically open around 5:00–6:00pm, with support acts from early evening and The Weeknd expected on stage around 8:30–9:00pm. A stadium curfew usually means the show finishes by about 10:30–11:00pm. Always confirm exact times on the official Wembley Stadium event page before you travel.
How do I get home after The Weeknd finishes?
Treat it like a cup final. Wembley Park runs a managed queuing system and can take 45–90 minutes to clear straight after. The fastest exit for many is to walk 15 minutes to Wembley Central (Bakerloo + Overground), which is far quieter. Otherwise the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines from Wembley Park run late — just don't bank on the very last train.
What time are the last trains from Wembley after the concert?
The last Metropolitan line train from Wembley Park is around 00:30 and the last Jubilee around 00:15, though both vary by day and any engineering works. Chiltern's last trains from Wembley Stadium station to Marylebone are earlier and limited. Always check TfL and National Rail on the day — the August dates run into the late-summer weekend network.
Is Wembley Stadium accessible for the concert?
Yes — Wembley Stadium is fully step-free with accessible viewing areas, accessible toilets and Changing Places facilities. Wembley Park and Wembley Central are both step-free from street to platform. Contact the venue's accessibility team in advance to arrange assistance for The Weeknd shows.
Which of the 5 nights should I worry about for travel?
Transport is the same across all dates, but the weekend nights — Friday 14, Saturday 15 and the closing Wednesday 19 August — see the busiest networks. On any night, get to Wembley Park or Wembley Central early and screenshot your route home before you go in.
