Principality Stadium Transport Guide: London to Cardiff and Back
Principality Stadium sits in the middle of Cardiff, five minutes’ walk from Cardiff Central — which makes it one of the easiest big stadiums in Britain to reach from London by train. The journey there is the simple part. This guide ranks every way to get from London to the stadium, how to handle the event-day road closures, and how to get home through the post-match queue.

Buffer is set to kick-off (or first bout) minus 60 minutes. This is a 74,000-seat stadium where every bag is searched and the whole city centre walks to the same gates — and trains from London arrive in waves, so one delay can cost you the anthems.

Getting home to London
Step-free & accessible
Cardiff Central has step-free access to all platforms by lift, and the stadium is a short, level walk from the station. Lifts do occasionally go out of service, so check National Rail’s station information before you travel.
You can book assistance for GWR and Transport for Wales trains through the national Passenger Assist service; on event days, book as early as you can.
Cardiff Council directs disabled drivers to Sophia Gardens on event days, and some private car parks also have disabled spaces. The St Mary Street taxi rank closes during event road closures, so plan any taxi drop-off and pick-up away from the closed streets.
