London advice please ...

[levad]

It's half term next week and I have booked a tour of The Emirates stadium for my son. My question to Londoners is this, is it easy (and nice) to walk from Euston station to The Emirates?

 

[dan_bo]

It is if you're a ManU/Chelski fan!


*ducks*

 

[Slowgrind]

You'll warp that poor lads mind!

 

[dan_bo]

It's up the edgeware road innit?

Not the most scenic of routes but there's plenty of goings on/atmosphere etc.

You COULD walk it, but it's a fair old hike, and not particularly a pleasant stroll either. Walk a couple of hundred yards down to Kings Cross, and get on Picadilly line to Arsenal tube station.

From Euston station take the first train heading out of town and don't stop until you get to civilization...

2.6 miles - best part of an hours walk

Not an interesting walk by any stretch of the imagination

As a Londoner who has lived in that part of the world it's probably not the nicest walk to be honest.

If you take the Underground it'll leave you with more time to do other things.
Take the Victoria line from Euston to Kings Cross and change for the Piccadilly line to Holloway Road(ten mins by tube), from there it's only a five minute walk to the stadium.

Don't forget to walk back to Highbury and reminisce about the real Home of Football.

Tube it to Arsenal, do the tour and then tube it back to South Kensington. From there, the Science Museum beckons! And The Natural History, and the V&A...ahh! Camden is a teensy weensy bit of a dump unless one is on a mission to be chained to your clothing!
Not one to be walked.

Or you could come to the home of my home team, Loftus Road...and both of you could have a good laugh.

Is it true that no one likes you, but apparently, you don't care?

 

[Bromptonaut]

The short answer is NO!!!!!

Upper St has moved up market in the 30 years since I lived in that part of town. But it's still an urban slog and places like Somers Town are best avoided.

Even longer walk then, as you would have to go via Upton Park to do so.
