Hi everyone.
I am traveling to London in the 29.10 and I have tickets for 2 matches:
1.Tottenham vs leiceter (KO:15:00)
2.crystal palace liverpool (KO:17:30)

I am planning to exit from spurs vs leicter in the 75min because the crystal palace game is more important to me and I want to watch the full match.
How do you recommend me arriving from white hart lane to selhurst park?
Is there a lot of traffic near selhurst park in matchday?
taxi will be good idea or underground better?
in which min I should leave white hart lane in order to arrive in time to selhurst park?
Hope for some help..
Thanks..

Parking around Selhurst on a match day is tricky at best. You're better off going by train.

 

They say hard work never hurt anyone ... but why take a chance?

I am not thinking about parking.
If I going by car is only taxi and then there is no problem of parking.
my questions is how the traffic in match day and how long will take to drive from white hart lane to selhurst park in the 29.10.
Thanks!

Train from White Hart Lane to Liverpool Street station; taxi from Liverpool Street to London Bridge station; train to Norwood Junction; walk to Selhurst Park. You'll have to check the timetables (and possible strikes) on the last lap, but I think you'd have to leave Spurs soon after the start of the second half, even if everything goes smoothly. I see there's a 16.57 from London Bridge, due at Norwood Junction at 17.10. Best of luck!

According to aa directions it's 27 miles from whitehart lane to selhurst park, and takes approximately 1 hour and ten minutes, depending on traffic (which will be a lot worse on match day). I think you should watch the first half and then leave, giving you 1 hour and 40 minutes to get to Palace.

There is a shorter route which is only 17 miles, but takes approximately 15 minutes longer.

As someone who drives to most games I attend the later you leave getting to selhurst the worse and more stressful parking is. It's a nightmare as most residents are home at that time . If you have to drive I would look into one of the schemes where you pay to park on someone's driveway nearby. A lot less hassle and cheaper than a ticket or being towed away

What you are trying to do is impossible unless you leave Tottenham at half time.
Don't even consider going by car it'll take forever on a Saturday afternoon.
1. Leave Tottenham on half time whistle. 15:45
2. Walk out to Tottenham High Road. 15:50
3. Take a black London cab to Seven Sisters underground station. 16:00
4. Take the London Underground Victoria line southbound to Victoria. 16:20
5. Exit underground & follow signs for main line station. 16:25
6. Take Southern Train service to Selhurst station. 16:33
7. Arrive at Selhurst station. 17:00
8. Walk to Selhurst Park. 17:10
9. Arrive at Selhurst Park and hopefully in your seat for 17:30 ko.
Other trains from London Victoria to Selhurst should the above not fall into place. (Always check the platform number before boarding the train as they can change)
Victoria (plat 10) 16:33 Selhurst 17:00 (Sutton train)
Victoria (plat 12) 16:43 Selhurst 17:09 (Caterham train)
Victoria (plat 9) 16:53 Selhurst 17:20 (Epsom train)

ps. Purchase your rail ticket in advance to avoid queuing & losing time. A one day travel card (all zones allows you to travel on any train/bus in London all day) will be what you require. Seven Sisters is in zone 3 & Selhurst is in zone 4.
Good luck.

Thank you very much. You really help me.
Most of chances I will leave tottenham in the half and then I have 1:45 to arrive and thats safe.
If somehow you got new idea of how I can watch more than half and still watch full game of palace it's will be great to hear.
