Back to blog Wireless Festival has been running for 11 years now and has become one of the top events in London for music lovers. This year’s Wireless lineup includes headline acts such as Calvin Harris, Chase & Status, J. Cole, Kygo and Boy Better Know. For those of you heading to Wireless for the first time, the site of the festival is at the south end of Finsbury Park. Here’s all you need to know about how to get to Wireless Festival.

How to get to Wireless Festival by Tube

There are two main Tube stations to choose from to get there. Finsbury Park station is a short walk away and is on the Piccadilly and Victoria lines. However Manor House on the Piccadilly line will probably be a bit quieter and it’s just as close to the festival grounds. If you plan on using the Overground, check ahead of time as everything between Gospel Oak and Barking is closed on weekends until February 2017. This includes Harringay Green Lanes, an Overground station very close to the park, but will be useless to you if you’re going on the Saturday or Sunday. download-tube-map-banner

Leave the Car

Whatever you do, don’t drive. The area around Finsbury Park isn’t very car friendly. There’s no pay and display parking and there aren’t even any drop-off points. If you’re coming from outside central London you’re better off driving to a train station and getting the train in.
