Tottenham Hotspur
Directions
From The North
M1 then the M25 (East; signposted Dartford Tunnel). Leave the M25 at Junction 25 and take
the A10 towards Enfield. Continue on the A10 through Enfield and at the roundabout with
the Northern Circular (A406), turn left onto the A406 (Sterling Way). Turn right into Fore
Road (the A1010) which becomes the High Road and you will come to the ground on your left.
Sharon Genge adds 'if you arrive around midday,
you can park at the local schools which are very easy to find. For £5 you can park until
6pm which is ample time to get back to the car after the match'.
The Editor of
My Eyes Have Seen The Glory adds: 'there is another way to get to the ground avoiding the
A10 and A406. When you come off the M25, take the A10 turning and then turn left at
the first set of lights. This takes you into Bullsmoor Lane. Follow the road
through until a busy crossroads with traffic lights. Go straight over and then you
are on Meridian Way (North-South route = the A1055). This road takes you straight
down to Tottenham. Just keep going straight (over roundabouts and traffic lights and
past the site at Picketts Lock of the new National Athletics stadium) until you pass
Tesco's on the left hand side. After going through the traffic lights at this store,
go through the next set and turn right at the lights after those (Sedge Road). If
you park around this area you will be able to get away fairly quickly and will be close to
Northumberland Park station (as mentioned by others) and conveniently located for The Park
Pub which is right next to the station. There is also a lot of towaway zones directly
around the ground, so check the parking restrictions before you leave your car or you
might face a trip to Wood Green (not recommended at the best of time) and a £100 bill to
get your car back!'
Pubs
Dave Thomas a visiting Birmingham City fan informs me; 'We
found a nice little
boozer up a side road, called the Antwerp.
Popular with both home and away fans, it is highly recommended. Basically it's right when
you come out of White Hart Lane Station,
and then right onto the main
High Road. You go past the the ground on
your left and then go right into Church
Road. Walk down the road going under
a bridge and the pub is on the
right
opposite Bruce Castle Park. There are
bouncers on the door but there's no problem getting in. Richard Crouch recommends 'The Park' right by
Northumberland Park station. This is a small comfortable pub which is about
ten minutes walk along Park Lane from the away end. Also the Bricklayers Arms (no away colours)
is also recommended. Carsie a Spurs fan from Belfast adds; 'I would
recommend the Three Compasses which is situated in Queen Street (behind
Middlesex University), which is a five minute walk from White Hart Lane
Station'.
There is also a Wetherspoons outlet called the Gilpins Bell
which is a ten minute walk away from the stadium. A fair sized pub, it also has
a good sized beer garden, which on my last visit on a hot August day, was
crammed with fans, including a sprinkling of away supporters. Coming out of
White Hart Lane railway station turn right and then left along the High Road.
You will pass the Bricklayers and Coach & Horse pubs and you continue along the
road as it bends around to the right. The Gilpens Bell is located a little
further down this road on the right hand side.
