Where are you from? I'm in Cambourne and go down M11 and A406 and then off at Edmonton and park in the areas near Ikea and the Tesco Extra store.

It's about a 20 minute walk from there and gives quick easy access back onto the A406, but if you're wanting somewhere closer you can head up Leeside Rd and then onto Willoughby Lane and park in Fredrick Knight Sports Ground and that's about 10 minutes away. We've not used it this season so far so not sure of what they charge but would guess £5-£10 as that's the going rate.

I would suggest a sticky for this as the question does pop up quite often.

Drive down A10 to WHL turn Left, then left at mini roundabout, left into Queens road then into Brooker Car Park £8. Walk back to WHL past School Academy about 5 mins walk to Paxton Road. Easier to get out this way, than park in industrial area WHL under train bridge..Drive back same way, or go up Queen st to M Midd. Hospital onto A406 N Circ. stay Left and upto A10. But lots of traffic this way,

there some match day car parks on the high road within 2 mins walk to the stadium if you don't mind parting with 10 of your hard-earned.
I usually use these when taking the kids to evening matches.

There is a lot of traffic when leaving after the match - but a small price to pay for the convenience.

I was looking for parking at the start of the season. The North Middlesex hospital was suggested and I park their every game. If you park on the maternity unit carpark (always loads of spaces) it is a 7 min walk to the stadium and you exit directly onto the north circular which saves loads of time queueing. It is £5 for up to 5hrs and you can pay on a card vIa the ring-go app (or cash at the machine). The most convenient place I have found.

Usually park in the The Gilpins Bell Weatherspoons. It's £15, but it is in a secure car park whereby the lock the big wooden gates during the game. About a 5-10 minute walk from the ground.

Sorry i missed a bit... after turn left off WHL at first mini roundabout turn right the left into Queen Road. Brooker is a secure car park about 100 cars. The two guys there wait til all cars gone after game.

Come in from the A406 end, down Fore Street, turn left at The Gilpins Bell pub - Claremont Street. Every time i find a space down there, it's not far from the ground, there's a reliable cash machine en route, and it's easy to find after the game. You'll get stuck in the post-game traffic shenanigans wherever you park though.

Why would anyone pay for parking at whl? We park near the hospital.
