Hotel for Harry Styles trip has cancelled our booking (due to building works allegedly)

Where can we stay at this point that's not mega money? Any places less touristy but on a tube line?

Hotels close-ish to tube stn only pls as travelling just myself & 2 teen DD. Don't want to be walking thru London late at night anywhere iffy.

Travelling down from NW if there's any other ideas for how to manage this trip now.

Premier Inn at Southwark, pretty much on top of the tube station and on the Jubilee line from Wembley.

That's where a good friend of mine is staying with two pre-teen girls on the last night.

some of the suggestions on here are wild! canary Wharf, Gatwick Airport!

Watford is your best bet, as you can probably get the train back from there to the NW without having to go back into London the next morning.

Ricky also fine, St Alban's has a PI but overall Watford makes the most sense

I stay in Hangar Lane a lot but whether there is an event on the price triples.

the other alternative at the opposite end of the metropolitan line is Aldgate.

CheeryEeyore · 26/06/2026 16:27

If you are OK with buses then the Premier Inn Hanger Lane is worth looking at. If you are coming down by car it has parking, but it's also very close to Park Royal and Hanger Lane tube stations. For the concert itself you can get the 483 bus from Wembley in the direction of Ealing which stops about 2 mins (if that) walk from the hotel. The service is pretty reliable. It's not the most glamorous area but I've sometimes taken that bus in the late evening and never felt unsafe.

As it's an event day the 483 will probably be on diversion so not stopping at the stadium itself but you can walk up to Wembley Central Station and catch it there.

doesn't need to be a war zone for women to feel unsafe walking alone at night. Just because Wembley is a major venue doesn't change the reality of the risks and anxiety many women face when navigating dark, busy, or unfamiliar streets after a late event.

How bloody selfish it is also for an artist to do 12 nights in one place making lots of people stay overnight and travel.

London isn't the only place in England.

There will be 1000’s of people leaving the concert, mostly women.
Also - London has street lights.

Honestly the hysteria about London on here is ridiculous.

I'm going next week with 2 teen dd and we are staying at prem inn Southwark Station (as pp have mentioned, direct tube from Wembley park via jubilee line). We are staying a few days sightseeing as well. If you're only staying one night does it absolutely have to be a family room? There was another thread recently where the op was asking about an extra child - the consensus was that as most premier inns have kiosk checkin, the chances of being challenged are quite low.

Travel lodge at Euston. Tube from and to Euston Square or not far from King’s Cross either.

alexdgr8 · 26/06/2026 15:31

How about getting the 83 bus to from Golders green road where there are lots of small hotels/ guest houses.

There are regular 83 buses from Wembley park until 00.30hrs and then the night bus.

Pibrea · 26/06/2026 15:27

We stayed in the Leonardo Watford when we went for Oasis, also from the north west. We drove down, quite an easy drive and there was cheap parking nearby, the hotel give you discount.

HermioneWeasley · 26/06/2026 15:25

The Uxbridge premier inn not near the tube is a decent hotel. I’ve never had a problem getting an uber in Uxbridge (though not tried late at night)

CheeseWisely · 26/06/2026 15:24

Adding to the choir that Rickmansworth is fine. Stop hand-wringing OP and just book a hotel!

London isn't the only place in England.

He's performing in other places. And London is by far the biggest and best-connected city in the country.

I usually always stay in a hotel after concerts anyway, unless you happen to live very close to the venue you'll probably have to.

Holiday Inn Watford Junction. Excellent hotel and very close to the tube/station

DoNotSitDownNextToMe · 26/06/2026 15:07

Savera Hotel in South Ruislip next to central line and Chiltern Line. You can easily walk or take a bus to Ruislip or Eastcote stations on the Metropolitan Line which will deliver you to Wembley Park.

wheredidthetime · 26/06/2026 14:59

Haven't read all the thread. But Travel lodge finchley central. Bus 13 goes straight to finchley road tube about 35 mins then a few stops to Wembley. Or there is a travel lodge on the finchley road. About a 5 min walk to finchley road tube station

We always stay in the premier inn in Uxbridge for a Wembley concert. It’s on a tube line direct to Wembley (25 mins), hotel is right by the tube and you’re going the opposite way to central London at the end of the night so it’s blissfully quiet on the tube!

That's good to know as I've just booked it for ds and me for Bruno Mars.

All this worry for females, while the millionaire gets taken to a luxury hotel afterwards to chill out with no worries. It's quite worrying people are prepared to stress themselves out and walk the streets because of this. Think of your own safety and lives. He's not worrying about you.

It’s Wembley not a flipping war zone.

ToniAndCalm · 26/06/2026 14:49

Op if you’re not yet sorted have a look around Marylebone tube/train station for hotels. We stayed here after Harry.
When leaving the concert, follow the queue to Chiltern Trains from Wembley (v easy to find). Direct to Marylebone. We were sitting on a train by 10.30 and back at the hotel by 10.45.

GrowAGarden · 26/06/2026 14:32

Watford is fine, always loads of people about. We're used to lost Harry Potter tourists so everyone's helpful at the station.
From Wat Junction there's the fast train into Euston in 20 mins and they are really regular, you can use contactless on it.
To Wembley it's easy on the Lioness and also quieter on the way back as you're against the flow and people head to the tube stations and don't think of the overground one.
There's been a huge block of flats built by the station recently, some are air b & b as I've directed a few lost people. Also lots of hotels near the station.

I volunteer at Wembley often and live in Watford so am probably biased on both counts.

Have a look at Beaconsfield or Gerrards Cross both on the same line and easy journey from Wembley.

Blimey - even deeper pockets needed here! Gerrards Cross is down the road from where I used to live in Chalfont St Peter, and is tres naice... Beaconsfield even more so. (Think multimillion pound properties, celebrities who live there etc).

I think it's not as easy to access either with regards to the Met line as both are on the Chiltern line train routes, which are fewer/more packed. But there's probably extra trains to cope, as PP say.

zigazigaaaing · 26/06/2026 14:20

Look at near Harrow on the hill tube or Rickmansworth. both very near to the concert on met line
