When there is a football match or event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, there may be extra parking controls and some road closures. The parking controls are to stop people visiting the stadium from parking in spaces that are for people who live and work in the area.

How additional event day controls work
Additional match day controls are for:
- all Tottenham men's and women’s home games that have more than – or are expected to have more than – 10,000 attendees
- any non-football event that has more than – or is expected to have more than – 10,000 attendees
See our map of controlled parking zones (CPZs) to check the additional match day hours or see the information under each CPZ on this page.
Drivers who live in and or have a business in Tottenham Event Day or Tottenham Hale North CPZs, can apply for a free resident or business permit. You can apply for a permit in the normal way, but you will not be charged a fee.
Drivers who live in Northumberland Park West, The Hale, Tower Gardens and White Hart Lane will have an event day permit included in their resident parking permit.
On event days, Blue Badge holders can park as usual. Read more about Blue Badge holder rules.
Visitors of residents will need to arrive and park before road closures come into effect. If they do so, they will be able to park using a visitor parking permit which the resident can apply for.

Which local roads will be closed?
Some roads closest to the stadium will need to close before, during and after an event to make it safe for visitors, residents and businesses, and for emergency access to the area.
Pre-event or match
From 8am on event days, Worcester Avenue will close. This is to allow early security checks of staff and vehicles going into the stadium’s basement car park. Park Lane will also be closed three hours before an event and all parking bays on Worcester Avenue and Park Lane will be suspended during event days.

Phase 1: 2 hours to 1 hour before an event or match
2 hours before any match or event, traffic marshals will close the northern section of the High Road from White Hart Lane to Bromley Road. General traffic and TfL buses will be on diversion to the east and west of the stadium. Residents and businesses who want vehicular access to their properties will need to enter via a vehicle permit check point.
Access will be permitted using their CPZ, Blue Badge or Resident Blue Badge Holder parking permit.

Phase 2: 1 hour before the start of an event and up to 15 minutes after
During this period, no vehicles (except emergency services) are permitted in the roads identified on the map. This is to ensure safety and security is maintained around the stadium. Residents and businesses with a valid CPZ or Blue Badge permit will be able to drive through the check points into the roads highlighted purple. Traffic marshals will close the remaining southern section of the High Road to Lordship Lane/Lansdowne Road.

Phase 3: during an event or match
Once an event or match has started, the southern section of the High Road will open for local resident and business access. The northern section will remain closed to allow for the safe evacuation of the stadium in an emergency. Worcester Avenue and Park Lane remain closed to all traffic.

Phase 4: 15 minutes before final whistle and up to 1 hour after the event or match
The roads surrounding the stadium are at their busiest after an event. Around 15 minutes before the end of an event, the Club traffic marshals will close the High Road from White Hart Lane to Lordship Lane/Lansdowne Road to all traffic. Worcester Avenue and Park Lane will remain closed to allow people to leave the stadium and make their way home. These roads will be closed for up to an hour, but the Metropolitan Police Service Match Commander may reopen them more quickly. On event days, Love Lane and Whitehall Street will have all parking bays suspended and will be closed for up to one and a half hours after an event to cater for queues at White Hart Lane station. For one to two hours after an event, Leeside Road will be one-way eastbound, and Willoughby Lane will be one-way northbound to facilitate leaving the stadium efficiently.
If access to your home or business is directly affected by the road closure and you have either a CPZ parking permit, a Blue Badge or a Resident Blue Badge Holder permit, traffic marshals will allow you to pass at vehicle permit check points. Pedestrians will be able to walk along local roads at all times.
