Travelling to London from abroad is very easy and there are many options available. Below is a map showing you all the major transportation hubs in the south east of England, with information about how to reach Wembley once you're in the UK.
There are various options for travel depending on your budget – allowing you to make the most of your holiday funds.
Once you have arrived in the UK, you will need to make your way to the stadium. The Google Map will give you all the details necessary, but below is some complementary information.
If you choose to drive to Wembley, you'll need some parking as close as possible to the stadium. All car parks inside the Wembley compound are managed by CSP. You can either pay on the day, or alternatively pre-book online through their website. A number of privately operated car parks are available in the area around the stadium, but the stadium’s own car park is recommended for the shortest walk between your car and the venue.
All train stations and Tube stations at Wembley are in Zone 4.
A map of the London network is available to download if required.
Disabled Access
Wembley Stadium is accessible to all disabled visitors. The stadium has released a detailed guide available on their website. It includes everything you need to know, from how to get there by public transport to where you will be seated inside the stadium.

Accommodation
A few companies (including Premier Inn, Holiday Inn, Ibis, Hilton) have hotels very near to Wembley Stadium and Arena and they are probably the best option if you are only there for the event and want to stay over somewhere nearby. It is also possible to get into the city centre in less than 15 minutes on the Underground, but if you want to be closer to the vibrant city life, there is plenty of accommodation nearer the city centre. Booking a hotel near a Metropolitan or Jubilee line station is recommended for easy access to Wembley.

Restaurants
It is, of course, possible to get some fast food in the stadium or arena, but if you’re looking for a proper meal before the event there are some good restaurants near Wembley. However, as the stadium is situated in a residential/office area of London, there is not a huge choice of restaurants to choose from in the immediate neighbourhood.
While lovers of Asian food will have no problem finding a good meal within walking distance from the stadium, fans of other cuisines may prefer to look for a restaurant in central London. The area around Baker Street Underground has plenty of restaurants, and is convenient to catch the Tube to Wembley Park (Jubilee or Metropolitan Line).

You're sure to find a restaurant near Wembley or just a Tube ride away to suit your tastes and your budget. Browse some recommended restaurants on the map and listed below and find your ideal pre- or post-event cuisine.
ChennaiDosa 
ChennaiDosa serves Southern Indian food which has received great reviews, and has some tasty treats, too. Indian expats state in their reviews that it feels like being back home.
There are two restaurants directly next to each other in Wembley – one purely vegetarian and one that also serves meat dishes.
As the name suggests, dosa (pancake made from black lentils and rice batter) is their signature dish and highly recommended. Also worth a try: ooththappam (sometimes referred to as Indian pizza) and sambar (vegetable stew). It is great value for money and good food with a very cosy and homely atmosphere.

Besides the obvious sandwiches, they also make pizza, pasta and other hot dishes. The café is also perfect for a good cup of coffee which you can enjoy in the small back garden if the weather allows.
