We would ask that you plan your travel options carefully. The concerts finish at 10.30pm, so please ensure you have looked at all of the options open to you to get home/to your hotel/your next destination. Whilst Finsbury Park Tube Station may seem like the obvious choice as the first part of your travel plan, remember that there will be a huge amount of like-minded people and the queue to get into that station may take over 1 hour. So look at other options such as the London Buses, or simply walking to major destination such as Camden town (2.3m), Kings Cross (2.8m) or walking to stations on other lines such as the Northern line at Tufnell Park (1.7m).
Always look at timetables for the last mode of public transport you are considering via www.tfl.gov.uk/journeyplanner
We'll continue to update this page with essential news and updates about the shows for ticket holders as and when we receive it. You can follow us on Twitter for up to date travel information, line ups, Showtimes and any relevant information. Click here or search @Livegigsandtour on Twitter.
Please note there will be a number of traffic orders, restricting parking/waiting in the streets surrounding the park. This will be strictly enforced and vehicles will be removed. There will be a number of road closures at the end of the evening to assist in ensuring congestion is kept to a minimum, though there will inevitably be some delays. Please note, due to the large volumes of people leaving the park at the end of the evening, there may be significant delays.
Ensure you give yourself plenty of time to arrive at the venue.

WALKING ROUTES
Finsbury Park is located just 2.3 miles North East of Camden Town and only 2.8 miles North of Kings Cross & Euston. The following links will show you simple walking routes to these locations that you can either store on your smart phone or print off. We have also included a very simple walking route to Tufnell Park Tube station which is on the Northern Line. Obviously these are just 3 routes we have shown and we would ask you to consider walking routes to avoid the heavily congested transport hubs around Finsbury Park.Kings Cross, Camden and Tufnell.
PARKING
Please note, as mentioned above, there is no parking in the surrounding roads of Finsbury Park. This is a very busy residential area with residents parking permits required. Additional traffic officers are employed to work during the events, so there will be no escape, your Vehicle will be removed if it is illegally parked. The Pay & Display within the park is closed on major event days such as this concert.
Public parking is extremely limited in this area of London, but you can refer to http://en.parkopedia.co.uk/ for some advice.
DISABLED PARKING
This is available within the park via the Endymion Rd gate on the northwest side of the park. These visitors are advised to take their disabled parking permit (Blue Badge) and have it on display on entering the gate.
LONDON UNDERGROUND
You can download a current London Underground Map via this link http://www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/1106.aspx. Please consult www.tfl.gov.uk for current timetables including notification of any engineering works that may affect your travel.
Please note that Manor House station will be closed at the end of the concert. This is because that station is not suitable for large crowds and also feeds Finsbury park station which will be in use and we require trains to have as much space as possible for the Finsbury Park Station operation.
For any customers travelling north, please consider using either Turnpike Lane station on the Piccadilly Line or Seven Sisters Rd station on the Victoria line. SOUTHBOUND TRAVEL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FROM THESE STATIONS AFTER 10pm.
Both are approximately a 30 minute walk and the walking routes to these stations can be found by clicking here - Turnpike Lane and Seven Sisters rd.
OVERGROUND & NATIONAL RAIL TRAINS
For anybody wishing to travel on National Rail trains please be aware that whilst there is a station for Overground and National rail from Finsbury Park, you will be joining the same queue as those customers who wish to use the underground. You will only be split off from the other customers after they have entered their platforms, so this will actually be a longer wait for you.
Therefore we suggest that you consider using the walking route for King's cross as you will walk by Caledonian Rd & Barnsbury Train Station after approximately 30 minutes, where connections can be made on the London Overground and Nation rail services. This station serves trains on the Richmond / Clapham Junction to Stratford line so good for East-West connections, with a change at Highbury and Islington for services to South and South East London Once again, PLEASE CHECK TIMETABLES VIA www.tfl.gov.uk/journeyplanner & www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk/plan-your-journey/
Be aware that here is scheduled engineering works taking place on Saturday 8th June 2013.
LONDON BUSES
There are an abundance of Bus Stops in the local area but please note that Seven Sisters rd adjacent to the park will have a road closure on it from 10pm until 11.30pm, so please do not rely on getting a bus directly outside the park. Either simply walk south on Seven sisters rd until you meet Holloway rd for those wish to travel into central London or walk Northwest on Greens Lane for those wishing to travel north. Green lanes also have services which travel south into central London. Once again please check www.tfl.gov.uk for information on Buses and timetables and which routes have night buses. Please note that the bus station in the Finsbury Park transport hub on Wells Terrace will not be in use after the show due to heavy congestion in that area.
