Travel from Wembley Stadium to Stratford...or somewhere else?

Hi

I hope it's okay to ask a quick question. I've just booked concert tickets to take my kids at Wembley Stadium and am looking for a cheap hotel. Stratford premier inn is a good price and looks doable on the tube. Is that a good option late at night? It's convenient for travel home the next day but I don't want a journey that's a massive PITA late at night.

Thank you in advance

The queues to get on public transport are indeed long, but you’ll pretty much have to brave them anyway wherever you decide to stay. We were pretty impressed at how well they were organised after Taylor Swift.

Stratford’s a long way, but pretty easy.

thanks @Swiftie1878
Is Kings Cross any better? Or can you suggest anything?

interesting and thank you both for replying so quickly. 2-3 hours though? I'm happy to sit on the tube for 45 mins but 2-3 hours is a lot when they will be tired

That will take you HOURS to get to after the gig.
You need to stay closer to Wembley, preferably walkable, or it’ll be a very late night.

It’s quite easy to do - just hop on the Jubilee Line and sit on it for 45 mins or so. You’re going all the way across London but it’s not really difficult, just long. You could probably speed it up by switching to the Elizabeth Line at Bond Street but I’m not sure it would be worth it. Loads of people will be getting on the Jubilee Line so it will be fine from that perspective.

Hi. So in theory, yes as the Jubilee Line will get you there directly. It'll take just under an hour once you are on it.

But please factor in the queues for the tube when the gig kicks out. Social media will show you the massive queues down Wembley Way, so it could take over an hour to get on the train too.

If you're happy it might take you two - three hours to get there, absolutely gorgeous for it.
