It’s just over 24 hours until Beyoncé takes to the stage at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the UK debut of the Cowboy Carter tour. The American leg of the tour has been getting rave reviews, so we’re pretty excited to see what rootin’ tootin’ fun Bey has in store for us Brits.

But before you can enjoy the brilliant setlist in your cowboy boots, you’ll need to get to the stadium. This can prove quite tricky, especially if you aren’t a London native who’s used to the chaos that is the tube at 5pm. 

That’s where we come in. Luckily, we know our way around this city pretty well, and we know the best routes to the north London stadium to ensure you don’t get lost or miss a moment of Cowboy Carter.

Here’s what you need to know about transport to and from Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour this week.

How to get to Beyoncé concerts in London

Beyoncé is playing six nights at the Spurs ground: June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16. It’s worth baring in mind that the gigs on June 7 and 10 are on Saturdays, so train times may be slightly varied, particularly if you’re heading out of London after the show.

Tube travel

The nearest tube stations are Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale, both of which are about a half hour walk from the stadium. These are also both on the Victoria line. If you are travelling into London, you can get on the Victoria line at several points in the centre of the city including King’s Cross, Euston, and Victoria station.

Be aware that both of these tube stations are likely to be very busy after the concert, so if you want to beat the crowds you may have to leave a couple of minutes before it ends. The choice between missing the end of the gig and waiting an hour to get on a train home is yours.

The stadium notes that ‘as the Victoria Line is expected to be very busy before and after each concert, fans should consider using the Piccadilly line’, which connects via a free shuttle bus service. Additionally, on weekends there is a night tube service on both the Piccadilly and Victoria lines.

Bus travel

There are several TFL bus services which stop at or very near to the venue including the W3, 149, 259, 279 and 349. The stadium does caution that on the day of the concerts ‘these routes will be subject to minor diversions’ because of road closures for the event.

There are also coach services from cities like Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Cardiff, and more. You will need to book these ahead of time. Full details including timetables, and a complete list of pick up/drop off locations can be found on the Big Green Coach’s website here.

Finally, there are free shuttle buses organised by the venue from Wood Green, connecting the stadium to the Piccadilly line, and Alexandra Palace Station, where Great Northern services stop. These drop you a five minute walk from Spurs stadium. You can book onto one of those here.

Train/Overground travel

The closest station to the venue is White Hart Lane on the Weaver overground line. This provides direct access from Liverpool Street station.

Greater Anglia train services also stop at Tottenham Hale and Northumberland Park stations. Neither Silver Street or Bruce Grove accept passengers after the concert for safety reasons.

You can keep up to date with any disruptions or changes to travel on both the TFL and Greater Anglia websites.
