Getting there

  • Arsenal tubePiccadilly line station renamed for the club; closes for outbound-only running after the match to manage crowds.
  • Drayton ParkOverground/Great Northern station right behind the away end, but shut on matchdays for southbound trains — useful for arriving, not leaving.
  • Holloway RoadA busier alternative tube ten minutes' walk away when Arsenal station queues are long.

Safe away spots

  • The Drayton ArmsCorner pub on Holloway Road that takes a steady away following and shows other Saturday scores. Map
  • Blackstock RoadTurkish grills and bakeries a few minutes from the ground, cheaper and calmer than the concourse. Map
  • Highbury Barn cafésTen minutes north, a quieter spot for coffee before the walk down. Map

Off the beaten track

Lower-profile pubs, cafés and corners the locals keep to themselves.

  • The Chapel, Holloway Road

    Late-Victorian corner boozer away from the main routes, quiet before three and welcoming to away colours.

    Open in maps
  • Gillespie Park nature reserve

    A genuinely surprising strip of wildlife park behind Drayton Park station — a calm ten minutes before kick-off.

    Open in maps
  • Fyre & Salt, Blackstock Road

    Small independent café doing excellent breakfasts, missed by fans who stick to the main Holloway Road strip.

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the London diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

Arsenal tube gets severely congested after the final whistle; consider walking to Holloway Road or Finsbury Park instead.

Ground note

Away allocation sells out quickly for London derbies and top-six fixtures — buy as soon as tickets go on general sale.
