From Watford (WD17, WD18, WD24, WD25) the natural line out is the M1 J5 and the M25 J19, joining A1 Holloway Road, then Drayton Park for the last part of the journey. That is about 19.6 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 40 min off-peak becomes 1h 10m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Drayton Park or the Hornsey Road side; Queensland Road and Hornsey Road fill quickly after full time. Islington runs a matchday parking and road-closure zone around the ground, so the pickup point sits a few streets out on Hornsey Road.
Address: Hornsey Road, Highbury, N7 7AJ.
We pick up anywhere in Watford and the surrounding Hertfordshire postcodes - WD17, WD18, WD24, WD25. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
Watford sits on the M1 J5, M25 J19 corridor, which is what makes this journey predictable rather than a gamble on the day.
Doors are usually an hour before the match starts. Allowing 1h 10m for the drive from Watford plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves Emirates Stadium at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £50 back to Watford.
A saloon is from £50, an estate from £65, a 6-seat MPV from £75 and an 8-seat minibus from £100. The price is fixed when you book and covers the whole journey.
