Driving to Emirates Stadium - Anything to watch out for?
Discussion
I have to go to an event at The Emirates this week. Banging it into Google Directions makes it look like a very simple case of M1, A1, then you're half a mile away.
I'm assuming parking is at the stadium (don't have the details to hand) but if it is, is there anything to watch out for that might not be obvious from the maps/directions?

unless you have reserved parking at the stadium
Just checked and it seems not. Paying is fine so any suggestions would be welcome.Cocfosters to Arsenal is only a short ride. Google for a local NCP if you have to drive in.
park at cockfosters and get the tube down, or walthamstow if you dont mind a change of tube lines.
I assume you're going for a gig or an Arsenal game (pretty safe assumption )so you'll be competing with 60,000 other people on public transport and thousands of others who will also part at cockfosters or the surrounding area. So, my advice- LEAVE EARLY. Stupidly early. Take a look around the stadium, do a tour or go to a pub before hand, but LEAVE EARLY!

I suspect this is where a bit of local knowledge comes in handy - when coming down from the Midlands is there somewhere on the outskirts that makes more sense to park and take the train than to try to park more centrally?
Cockfosters map shows parking but I assume you'd need to pray to find a space at 8am on a weekday?

A conference so need to be there 9am ish - fk all to do with football I posted in The Lounge so I suspect a mod has simply seen "Emirates" and moved it I assume you're going for a gig or an Arsenal game (pretty safe assumption )so you'll be competing with 60,000 other people on public transport and thousands of others who will also part at cockfosters or the surrounding area.

So I'd hope the traffic/parking challenges will "only" be whatever you'd expect on a normal weekday morning.
I will ask my girlfriend what its called tonight but this might help as well.
