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.

I personally would sell the Spurs ticket, too many variables in getting across town. Use the money to spend in and around the ground before a London derby.
The Spurs tickets will not have been cheap, seems a shame to only see half a match then be in a tearing rush.

I found other solution:
leaving white hart lane stadium to white hart lane station 16:42-16:47
white hart lane station - seven sisters 16:47-16:51
seven sisters - london bridge 16:53- 17:15 (Through EustongreenPark)
london bridge - norwood junction 17:20-17:33
norwood junction - selhurst park 17:33-17:38 (running).
get to my seat 17:40.
That means I see 85 min of spurs game and 80 min of palace game.
seems to be the best option although crystal palace game was much important to me.

It might be useful to remember that trains from Victoria to Selhurst stop at Thornton Heath a couple of minutes earlier. Cheers

This looks good on paper, but I doubt it will work.
Firstly give yourself more than 5 minutes (10 at least) to get from your seat to White Hart Lane Station.
Secondly you won't be able to get from Seven Sisters main line station to Seven Sisters underground station in 2 mins.
You will not make 16:53 at Seven Sisters (next 16:59) which means that you won't make 17:20 at London Bridge.

well about leaving the stadium I am not worried. I will exit 5 min before then.
How much it will be from seven sisters main station to underground station?
maybe will be better to run from white hart lane stadium to seven sisters?

Use citymapper, tends to be more reliable for this kind of thing than planning yourself. Have done your journey below:

Would be interested in an update on this after Saturday to see how you got on. I would wager that that you would be lucky to watch first 45 minutes of Spurs game and 2nd 45 minutes of the Palace game going by car or London Transport. Spurs to Selhurst is a horrible journey at the best of times let alone a Saturday.
