Since this is the first weekend since Boris Johnson eased outdoor exercise rules in lockdown there is a strong chance we will all notice the roads and public transport are busier.

We can now head out for unlimited exercise each day and even travel as far as we like for a day trip within England.

However, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan is still urging Londoners to stay at home as much as possible and social distancing rules remain in place, which is particularly important to remember on public transport.

A Transport for London (TfL) spokesperson said: "Following recent travel advice from the Government, we need your help to keep public transport safe for Londoners who have no alternative way to travel during this period.  "If your journey is not essential, we ask that you continue to avoid public transport to free up the limited space available.

"When social distancing is hard to maintain, please use a face covering, carry hand sanitiser and wash your hands before and after you travel. Do not travel if you show any signs of the virus."

Below is a rundown of all the public transport changes in London over the weekend and coming week.

• London Underground

From Monday, May 18 services will be run on all Tube lines apart from the Waterloo & City line which will remain closed until further notice.

The Circle line will reopen but will not run between Edgware Road and Hammersmith, which will continue to be served by the Hammersmith & City line.

Until further notice the Piccadilly and TfL Rail stations at Heathrow Terminal 4 are temporarily closed. Services are still running to Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3&5 stations (Piccadilly line) and Heathrow Terminals 2&3 and 5 stations (TfL Rail). This is due to a change in operations at Heathrow, all flights now depart from Terminals 2 and 5 only.

As part of its plan to help keep people who have to use the Tube safe on their travels, it has released a list of the busiest London Underground stations and lines that people really need to avoid.

These are the lines and stations you really need to avoid.

• Central line between South Woodford/Redbridge and Stratford
• Jubilee line between Stratford and Westminster
• District line between Dagenham Heathway and Aldgate East
• Victoria line
• London Overground between Stratford and Willesden Junction
• DLR between Woolwich Arsenal and Canning Town

London Overground

Network Rail is carrying out works which will affect the following London Overground services. On Sunday, May 17 there will be no service between:

• Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction. Rail replacement buses will run
• Liverpool Street and Enfield Town, Cheshunt (via Seven Sisters) and Chingford until 8.15am. Rail replacement buses will run between Seven Sisters and Enfield/Cheshunt, and between Hackney Downs and Chingford.

Buses and roads

From Monday, May 18 the Central London Congestion Charge and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), as well as the London-wide Low Emission Zone will be reinstated . The London-wide Low Emission Zone discourages the use of older polluting vehicles such as lorries and vans within the zones. There is a reduced service on all bus routes. Due to the following works, some buses may be diverted or stop short of their normal destination.

Shoreditch  - Until September 30 Shoreditch High Street will have a contra-flow reducing the width of the carriageway in both directions between Holywell Lane and New Yards Inn. This is due to Shoreditch Village development works. London Bridge  - Until October 31 London Bridge is closed to general traffic (except buses, licensed taxis, motorcyclists and cyclists). Diversions are in place and there are changes to the junction either side of the bridge. Please take extra care when driving while all users, including pedestrians, get used to the new layout.  Drivers using Blackfriars Bridge or Tower Bridge should expect queues while crossing the river. Travel outside of peak times and use alternative river crossings including Vauxhall, Westminster and Lambeth bridges where possible for an easier journey. This is for essential maintenance works being carried out by the City of London Corporation.

Santander Cycles

The following docking stations will be out of service this weekend:

• Queen's Gate, Kensington Gardens
• London Zoo, The Regent's Park
• Albert Gate, Hyde Park
• Hyde Park Corner, Hyde Park

Fans are advised to use TfL’s Journey Planner for all the latest travel advice and leave plenty of time for their journey.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Getting Here

General Admission and Premium opening: 5pm

• The stadium is served by three stations over the weekend (Northumberland Park, Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters) providing access to London Underground, Greater Anglia services and numerous TfL buses
• Free high-capacity shuttle bus services to and from the Piccadilly Line at Wood Green and Greater Northern services at Alexandra Palace connect the stadium with other stations and services
• There is ample cycle parking around the stadium and walking routes to and from the stadium to stations and coach parks are all clearly signposted.  Stewards will also be on hand to answer any questions

Arrive early and stay after the concert to take advantage of the wide range of food outlets , bars and entertainment within the stadium.

Wherever fans are travelling from, particularly if they have never been to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before, we recommend taking the time to read the following information...

Tottenham Hale

Tottenham Hale is a fully accessible station with access to and between Victoria Line and Greater Anglia services. Greater Anglia platforms are fully accessible from the concourse, which has entry and exit ramps.

Fans using the Victoria Line, including wheelchair users and those with limited mobility, are advised to use Tottenham Hale rather than Seven Sisters as it is a shorter journey to and from the stadium.

Northumberland Park

Saturday 15 June

Greater Anglia will operate six trains per hour northbound via Northumberland Park in the two hours leading to gates opening. This service will operate between Liverpool Street and Hertford East, Liverpool Street and Audley End, Stratford and Meridian Water and Stratford and Bishops Stortford. The Stansted Express will call at Northumberland Park once per hour after the concert.

Before the concert there will be six trains per hour southbound between Audley End and Liverpool Street, Hertford East and Liverpool Street, Meridian Water and Stratford, respectively. After the concert, the southbound service will increase to 12 trains per hour, with all southbound trains calling at Tottenham Hale, Stratford and Liverpool Street. This increased service post-concert includes four Stansted Express trains.

This service will operate between Liverpool Street and Hertford East, Liverpool Street and Audley End and Stratford and Meridian Water. The Stansted Express will call at Northumberland Park once per hour after the concert.

Before the concert there will be four trains per hour southbound between Audley End and Liverpool Street, Hertford East and Stratford, Meridian Water and Stratford, respectively. After the concert, the southbound service will increase to 10 trains per hour, with all southbound trains calling at Tottenham Hale, Stratford and Liverpool Street. This increased service post-concert includes four Stansted Express trains.

CLICK HERE to view Sunday’s full Abellio Greater Anglia timetable...

Fans are advised to use Northumberland Park if using Greater Anglia services as it is a shorter distance to the stadium than Tottenham Hale.

Seven Sisters

Victoria Line services will be operating every 2-3 minutes in both directions throughout the day until 11.30pm, when there will be six trains per hour throughout the night as part of the night tube service.

Post-concert

We expect approximately half the event attendees to depart the Tottenham area via the Victoria Line. Queues can be expected at the High Road entrance to Seven Sisters station. Northumberland Park and Tottenham Hale will be less busy with no significant delays expected at either station.

Fans are advised to avoid station queues and enjoy the food and drink available in the stadium.

General admission areas will call last orders at 10pm with bars closing at 10.30pm. Premium area bars will call last orders at 10.45pm with bars closing at 11pm and the stadium will close for all guests at 11.30pm.

General admission areas will call last orders at 9.30pm with bars closing at 10pm. Premium area bars will call last orders at 10.15pm with bars closing at 10.30pm and the stadium will close for all guests at 11pm.

The stadium is well-served by TfL buses, albeit with some services diverted during the road closure period (from two hours before kick-off until approximately one hour after the final whistle).

Bus diversions will be minimised, so they are back operating on the High Road as soon as possible after the final whistle.

Before and during a concert, services that normally run up and down the High Road (149, 259, 279 and 349) are diverted to the east of the stadium at Lansdowne Road, rejoining the High Road at the Northumberland Park junction.

From Station to Stadium

Stations map

We have installed wayfinding signage from all four train stations to the stadium.

Please refer to the digital wayfinding signs as you leave the stadium to your chosen station.

Please plan your walking route back to the stations as access routes into the stations are normally different due to post-concert queue management arrangements. Please listen to the advice of stewards and station staff.

We encourage fans to make use of the full length of the platform at each station. Moving down the length of the platform will speed up the loading of the trains and decrease the waiting times for your fellow spectators.

Travelling from Stansted Airport?

Follow this link to stanstedexpress.com  for details of the Stansted Express service from Stansted Airport into Tottenham Hale.

Shuttle Bus Services

Fans should note that the Club operates a service between the stadium and Alexandra Palace (Great Northern Services) and Wood Green (Piccadilly Line) stations.

The Great Northern Line will operate five trains per hour through Alexandra Palace throughout the day.

The Alexandra Palace and Wood Green shuttle services operate three hours before and two hours after the concert. However, fans are advised to arrive at the shuttle bus stop at least one hour before stadium arrival to allow for the travel time and security checks at the stadium.

Although the service is free for all fans attending a concert, you will need to register via the link below before booking and present your e-ticket to bus staff before entry onto a shuttle service.

Pre-book tickets

Service details

Alexandra Palace Station  (Great Northern Services)

Before a concert, shuttle buses pick-up from Station Road (opposite the station entrance) and drop-off outside Haringey Sixth Form College - a five-minute walk from the stadium. This journey is then reversed after a concert.

Wood Green Station  (Piccadilly Line services)

Before a concert, shuttle buses pick-up on the High Road (opposite the bus garage) from the existing rail replacement stop just 60m from the station and also drop-off at White Hart Lane, outside Haringey Sixth Form College. After the concert, the buses will drop fans outside the Green Rooms Hotel opposite Wood Green Station.

Car Parking

The Club is dedicated to minimising the environmental impacts of its activities across all Club operations, including through the promotion of alternative forms of transport for fans and staff.

As such, there is  no parking available  for general admission fans at the stadium.

The  road closures  also mean that,  if you choose to travel by car, you will not be able to exit any car parking facility within the road closure area  for one hour after the final whistle.

Therefore, in most cases, we discourage fans from driving to the stadium, so please explore your public transport options before travelling.

Accessible Parking

Parking for fans with a disability is available in and around the stadium, subject to availability. To request parking, please email [email protected]

For those who have booked accessible parking in advance, please be advised you will be sent the full information on your parking location with directions before the event.

Keeping you informed

Once you’re in the stadium, we shall endeavour to keep all spectators updated with  live transport information   so that you can plan your journey home after the concert. Fans are advised to check nationalrail.co.uk for full information.

With nearly 1,850 screens throughout the stadium, we’ll ensure that you do not miss any key information regarding public transport, as well as posting updates on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium social media.

Coach Parking

Coach parking can be booked in advance here

Coaches will park in the Goods Yard, which is less than a 10-minute walk from the stadium.
