MLB London Travel Info

MLB London will be taking place at the London Stadium. Here is all the MLB London Travel Info for the inaugural MLB Global Games to be happening in London.

International Travellers

Most International travelers will come into one of London’s 5 airports; London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted, London City or London Luton.  London Heathrow and London City are the best for being close to the city centre.  The others will require public transport to get into the city.  It wouldn’t be advisable to get Taxi rides from the airports into London as they will work out expensive.  Car hire is possible, however, the traffic in the city is beyond tough to navigate and you will also have to pay congestion charges and astronomical parking fees.  The train is the best mode of transport for an international traveler.  It is easy to get connecting trains from any of the airports and post sign postings and ticket information will be available at all.

Train & Tube

London is very accessible from all areas of the UK, no matter where you are based.  The main stations to travel in to London are, Paddington, Victoria, Kings Cross St Pancras and Euston.  From there you can get the tube to the Stratford area of London.  The London Stadium has 4 stations close by:

Stratford Station – a 20 minute walk to the stadium.  You can get to this station via the following tube and DLR lines; Central & Jubilee, Docklands Light Railway (DLR, National Rail services operated by Greater Anglia and C2C and the London Overground.

Stratford International Station – a 20 minute walk to the stadium.  You can get to this station via the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and the Southeastern High Speed 1.

Pudding Mill Lane Station – a10 minute walk to the stadium. You can get to this station via the District Light Railway (DLR).

Hackney Wick Station – a20 minute walk to the stadium. You can get to this station via the London Overground.

Car

As above, we would advise against traveling to MLB London via car.  However, if you want to brave the roads of London, there are two carparks, one at Stratford International and one at Stratford Westfields.

Taxi

Taxis are readily available across the whole of London and they will have no issue getting you to the London Stadium for MLB London.  That being said, please be mindful of how far away you are from the vicinity of the stadium as even a couple of mile journey in London will work out expensive.

If you struggle, we would advise visiting Transport For London.

Hotels for MLB London 2024

We would advise, getting a hotel in the city centre of London for your MLB London experience. Although they will be expensive and a little bit of a journey to the game itself, you will be able to immerse yourself in the delights of London. From the best restaurants to the hottest shows, not to mention the shopping experience. The centre of London will be the best.
