Parking Near London Stadium: Best Spots to Save Money on Matchday
Your complete guide to finding cheap and convenient parking near London Stadium in Stratford on matchdays and event days.
London Stadium: A World-Class Venue in East London
London Stadium is one of the largest and most versatile venues in the UK, situated in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London. Originally built for the 2012 Olympic Games, it is now the home of West Ham United FC and regularly hosts major concerts, athletics events and international fixtures, with a capacity of 62,500 for football matches and up to 80,000 for concerts and major events.
Whether you're visiting for a Premier League matchday or a major event, it is one of the best-connected stadiums in the country — but parking still requires planning ahead.
Book London Stadium Parking in Advance
No public car parking is available at the stadium itself on matchdays, which means arranging nearby parking ahead of time is essential. Demand increases sharply in the lead-up to fixtures and major events, and availability close to the ground can sell out quickly.
Pre-booking West Ham Matchday Parking with JustPark removes the uncertainty of matchday travel and helps you avoid restricted residential streets, temporary road closures and last-minute price increases.
There is a wide mix of options available, from secure car parks to private driveways, so supporters can compare what's on offer, choose their fixture, and secure a space that works for them.
When you reserve your parking in advance, you can:
Park within walking distance of London Stadium
Avoid last-minute "pop-up" options and inflated matchday prices
Arrive knowing your space is secured before you travel
Extend your parking through the JustPark app if plans change (subject to availability)
Where to Park Near London Stadium
Demand for parking around London Stadium is typically highest in and around the following areas:
Stratford and the Olympic Park area — The closest options to the stadium, these fill up quickly on matchdays. Pre-booking a space here is the most reliable way to secure a spot within easy walking distance of the turnstiles.
Hackney Wick and Bow — A practical choice slightly further out, with a number of private driveways and commercial spaces available through JustPark. These areas offer a straightforward walk or short journey into the Olympic Park.
Leyton and Wanstead — For supporters happy to travel the final leg by Tube or bus, parking further east along the Central Line is a popular option that helps avoid the heaviest traffic around Stratford on matchdays.
Many surrounding streets are subject to residential parking restrictions on event days, which are actively enforced. Pre-booking an off-street space is the safest way to avoid fines and delays.
If you want a smoother exit after the match, consider parking a little further out and walking or taking a short journey for the final stretch.
Alternative Ways to Get to London Stadium
London Stadium is one of the best-connected venues in the country, and many supporters choose to combine driving part of the way with public transport for the final leg.
Park and Walk
Parking a short distance from the stadium and walking through the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a popular choice for matchday visitors. The park itself provides a pleasant approach to the ground, and walking in avoids the worst of the pre-match traffic around Stratford station and the surrounding roads.
Park and Continue by Tube or Bus
Stratford station is a 15–20 minute walk from London Stadium and is served by the Central Line, Jubilee Line, Overground, DLR and National Rail services, making it one of the most accessible stations in London.
Supporters travelling from further afield can park at a station further out on the Jubilee or Central Line and complete the journey by Tube, avoiding central London traffic entirely. Jubilee Line services run late on event nights, making the return journey straightforward.
Matchday Parking Tips for London Stadium
Arrive early. Parking near London Stadium fills up fast on matchdays, particularly for high-profile Premier League fixtures or sold-out events. Give yourself plenty of time.
Check restrictions. Residential streets around Stratford, Hackney Wick and Bow are actively enforced on event days — always pre-book rather than risk a fine.
Keep your booking details handy. Having your confirmation and any access instructions ready means you can park quickly on arrival.
Plan your walk. Build in enough time to walk from your parking space to the turnstiles, especially if you've parked further out in Leyton or along the Central Line.
Consider your exit. Parking slightly further from the ground can make leaving after the match considerably quicker and less stressful, particularly given the volume of traffic leaving Stratford after a full house.
