BST Hyde Park

[mrsfeatherbottom]

I'm going to see Stray Kids in July in Hyde Park. I'll be in a wheelchair and with my DD14 who is autistic. I'm now starting to panic a bit so wanted some reassurance/advice.

We're staying in a hotel near Storeditch/Old Street. Sounds like it'll be over about 10:30pm. How likely is it that we'll be able to get a taxi back to the hotel at that time? DH and DD16 are also coming for the weekend but not for the concert but I think I'll get them to come meet us after.

Getting a taxi from Hyde Park after a BST concert is a nightmare unless you book one to meet you somewhere a few streets away. There are 1000s of people trying to leave and walking to the tube and the roads can be blocked off.

We went to see Bruce Springsteen last year and left about 10 minutes before the end to avoid the crush getting out. There were a lot of roads closed off in the area, luckily we'd parked some distance away.

I wonder would our best bet be to walk to Bond Street and get on the Elizabeth line to Liverpool Street Station, as it's wheelchair accessible. Google Maps tells me it's about a 20 minute walk.

Just an update in case anyone is interested ... I decided to cancel the last night in the hotel in Shoreditch (luckily it was fully flexible) and have booked a hotel on the Edgeware Road for the Sunday night (the night of the concert and our last night in London) so if needs be we can walk/wheel back to the hotel. Feeling much more relaxed now and hopefully will enjoy it more!
