Persons Of Reduced Mobility
For all Wembley events there is dedicated Blue Badge parking for Persons of Reduced Mobility. These are typically located in the south west corner of Green Car Park, adjacent to the stadium building line. At this location, passengers are located as close as possible to the Main Entrance, but are also able to access the accessible lift that takes them to the levels above. For more information on where to find Blue Badge parking, please visit our website: http://www.wembleystadium.com/TheStadium/StadiumGuide/Parking

In addition to Blue Badge parking, we provide a free shuttle service (which must be booked in advance) between Perimeter Way (to the west of the Main Entrance) and the north side of Wembley Park Station (taxis typically park at the taxi rank at this location). This shuttle service is currently the only vehicle allowed to bypass the road closures (other than emergency vehicles).
