We're looking forward to covering our first Northern Ireland Women's away match this weekend!

You may be familiar with the work we do around Men's away games, and we hope that this information is helpful.

Our thanks go to the England Women's Fan Embassy team, our colleagues at FSE and our guy Neal from the London NISC for their help in putting this together and to another of our pals, Allan who has helped organise the venue.

As you'll already know, London has an extensive public transport network. The easiest way to get around is the London Underground (Tube) system.

It's suggested that you're best bet is to 'pay as you go', using a contactless card. You can use your card or you can download the 'TfL Oyster and contactless' app on your phone.

There's a daily cap of £10.60, so you won't spend more than that and kids travel free with an adult. You can also buy a Day Travel Card from a ticket office or ticket machine, but this costs £13.90.

Here's a link to a map of the London Underground, which you should be able to download.

There are three stations near the stadium. 

Wembley Park Station is only two stops from Baker Street station, on the Metropolitan Line, and is also served by the Jubilee Line for further connections across the Underground network.

Wembley Stadium station is one stop from London Marleybone on Chiltern Railways, and Wembley Central station is on the Underground Bakerloo Line and London Overground Line from Watford Junction to London Euston.

We've organised a venue for Northern Ireland fans to meet up on Saturday afternoon before the match.

The 'Green Man' pub at Dagmar Avenue is a well known venue for fans before setting off on the short journey to Wembley.

It can easily accommodate us all with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, serves food and drink and families/accompanied kids are welcome. You can wear your colours and bring your flags too. This is a family friendly gathering.

 

We invite you to join us from 12pm to 4.30pm.

You can park at the Green Man. They charge £15 for All Day Parking. Just text them on 07583 333378 and mention that you're a Northern Ireland fan. 

If you're in London for a bit longer, then Philomena's pub at Great Queen's Street is worth a visit.

The meeting place for our London NISC, which also serves food, including decent fry-ups! It's quite close to both the Covent Garden and Holborn Tube stations.
