Travel update | Spurs vs West Ham, WSL

Fans heading to Brisbane Road on Sunday for our Women’s Super League fixture against West Ham United (kick-off 12pm) are advised that there will be closures on the Central Line on matchday, as well as a significantly reduced service across other Tube lines, affecting travel to the stadium.

• The Central Line will not operate between Liverpool Street and Buckhurst Hill/Newbury Park, meaning Brisbane Road will not be accessible via Leyton station on Sunday.
• This closure coincides with a significantly reduced service across other Tube lines ahead of planned industrial action across the London Underground network – with lines subject to delays, disruptions and last-minute changes.

Fans who would normally travel to Brisbane Road via Leyton are therefore encouraged to make alternative travel arrangements and plan their journey in advance.

Please also allow extra time if you intend to use other Tube lines, so as to factor in the disruption to the London Underground service.

Once you arrive at Brisbane Road, there is a range of cycle parking available around the stadium provided by Mini Holland who have installed a large number of bike racks outside the Score Centre, opposite the Justin Edinburgh Stand where the Leyton Orient Superstore and Ticket Office is located.

Walking

Fans based locally may wish to consider walking to the stadium. We encourage planning your walking route to Brisbane Road in advance.

No Public Parking

Fans are advised against driving to the stadium where possible as there is no public parking available. As Brisbane Road is located in a highly residential area, there is also extremely limited parking in the immediate surrounding area. Many surrounding roads are for permit holders only and there are limited parking options elsewhere.

Supporters who do drive to the match are encouraged to take care to avoid penalty fines when parking by reading signage and by not blocking local residents.
