Entering the stadium
The current guideline is that turnstiles will open for the away section two hours before kick off. Arsenal recommend that supporters arrive at least one hour before kick-off.
The ‘Away’ turnstiles are situated at the Southeast corner of the ground (entrances K and L). There are several ways to approach this part of the ground.
If arriving from Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line), on leaving the station turn left and walk down Holloway Road for approximately 10 minutes turn right into Hornsey Road, walk straight down and the Stadium is in front of you. If you then take the stairs to the right of the Armoury store up to podium level and again keeping the stadium on your left, you will reach entrances K and L in about 250 yards.
Finally, if you come into Arsenal Underground station on the Piccadilly line, when you come out of the station turn right and follow the road as it turns to the left, you are now in Drayton Park, ignore the first steps you see on your right-hand side and continue along Drayton Park for 5 minutes. On your right you will see the Danny Fiszman Bridge; cross over and this leads you directly to the away entrances.
