Getting home after

Stratford (13 min)
Head back through the park to Stratford — with so many lines it absorbs the crowd fast, and stewards manage a one-way flow after the whistle.
Spread to Pudding Mill Lane / Hackney Wick
Pudding Mill Lane (DLR) and Hackney Wick (Overground) are quieter exits a similar walk away and worth it after a full house.
Driving out
If you drove, the park’s controlled roads and A12 traffic mean a long wait — better to let it clear from a Stratford bar.

Step-free & accessible

Step-free routes run throughout Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Stratford station is step-free; a dedicated accessibility shuttle runs from Stratford station to the stadium for supporters who need it.

Black cabs use the rank on Montfichet Road outside the Northern Ticket Hall at Stratford for accessible door-to-door travel.

The stadium has wheelchair and easy-access seating and step-free concourses — book accessible seating, parking and assistance in advance through the club.
