Travelodge have a hotel just across the road from Liverpool Street. Details here

stayed there before and handy if you're just doing a night trip.

As mickman says no need to stay near WHL.

Yes, above mentioned option is probably the best one. Feel free to ask any questions, all the lads are very helpful.

As long as you understand there won't be much happening in the way of lively bars/restarants round Liverpool St, it'll be dead round the city on a non-work day - but ofcourse you are only a short tube away from the west-end action, if its a late one - taxi back

Make sure you're not wearing colours as that Arsenal territory (in fact, if you want to go out for a drink after that game I'd advise against wearing anything that marks you as a football fan, cos a lot of places will have restrictions on anyone wearing colours)

Covent Garden is another good spot, and you should be able to find somewhere that's open late.

It will probably be 11pm before you get back to where you're staying after the game, so it's worth having a look for bars/restaurants/nightclubs that will be open before you go.

I asume you mean Jan not Dec, strangely enough we're playing Fulham on 26 Dec (away) and 26 Jan (home), how weird is that ?

If it is Dec game you have booked, being near WHL doesn't come into it.

the travel lodge in covent garden is a grand and very cheap hotel. i have stayed there for 15 pounds a night if you book early enough. very noisy on the street at night though so you would want to be going out for a few whiskeys after the match in order to sleep

fionaspride

yes its the jan game i was on about, my mistake

I always stay at the Travelodge in Covent Garden - Like has been said transport is so good in London you need not worry - Tube is 2 min from the hotel and will link you up with Liverpool street no prob! But the bonus is, Covent Garden is in the thick of the action, and if you are not familiar with London, Covent garden shops, Oxford st, Trafalgar sq, Piccadilly circus, Soho etc are all within a few mins walk, so perfect for a weekend away;)

thanks for the post, i have already booked the travel lodge in liverpool st, can any one sugest some were to go around there after the game. thanks.

Hi Fiona,

There are bars/pubs around Liverpool Street Station itself but you might find it slightly quiet. Liverpool Street is smack bang in the middle of London's financial district, so it tends to be not as busy at weekends.

Personally I'd jump on the tube at Liverpool Street and head to Covent Garden it only 10-15 mins away and the bars/pubs/restaurants etc. are always busy.

Here's a couple of links which will help you

I've just noticed this game is on a Tuesday evening.

You are going to back at the hotel near Liverpool St pretty late then. As its a mid-week it won't be too bad in the City area for something to eat & drink. If you can't be bothered cos its late.

Depends what you want, if you really want to do the proper 'London thing' as Rich says your better off jumping on a tube to Covent Garden/Leicester Square area. It'll always be busy there, even on a Tuesday night in January. Just might be a bit late by the time you get there!

Good point RickyV, I hadn't noticed myself that it's a Tuesday night match. Under the circumstances I'd probably head back to Liverpool Street and find somewhere near the station that's busy, as time will be a bit restricted.

Hello fellow yids,
I normally stay in my uncle and aunt's hotel in Muswell Hill. This is a nice area with a selection of restaurants, shops and bars. The hotel is called the Roseview Hotel and is a very clean 3star hotel with full bar. Great brekkie and dinner is available also. All rooms have an ensuite.

Usually I fly into Stansted and get the train to Tottenham Hale (35mins). This costs £26.60 return. I then get a taxi to Muswell Hill which takes about 10mins. This costs £14.

To get to White Hart Lane you can take a cab or just walk down to Alexander Palace, which is nearby, and get the bus. I have forgotten the bus number!

You can contact them on 0044 2083652535.

You will enjoy your stay as John, my uncle, is also an avid Spurs fan also

i was over at the game on Wed v City (super spurs!!!!) and was staying near Hyde Park... we just went straight from Ground to Leicster Square on tube... lots of normal bars etc seem to close about 11.30 once last orders called so we headed to soho where there was lots of places open, ended up in O'Neils which was grand, music, pints and some laughs..all one can ask for..
