Tube drivers' scheduled walkout on Thursday (October 5) is bound to upset commuters and football fans alike.

London Underground grinding to a virtual standstill for 24 hours will disrupt the journey of thousands of football fans heading to Wembley for England's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia.

There will be a severely reduced service on all lines and passengers are advised to plan ahead and use alternative routes.

Working out how to trek across the capital when its trustiest form of travel is out of action is hardly a bundle of laughs, so we've done the hard work for you.

London Overground and DLR trains will be unaffected as they are operated separately.

Buses to Wembley stadium

The following London buses run from Wembley Central and Wembley Park station to the stadium - 83, 92 182 and 224.

But be warned, on match days these routes are often congested and it may take longer than usual to get there.

Transport for London (TfL) has also warned that the Tube strike will mean most bus services are more crowded than usual.

Coaches to Wembley stadium

National Express is Wembley's official coach partner and has special journeys for visitors to the stadium.

Trains to Wembley stadium

London Overground and DLR trains will be unaffected as they are operated separately.

There are three Tube stations near the stadium:

  • Wembley Park (on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines)
  • Wembley Central (on the Bakerloo and London Overground lines)
  • Wembley Stadium (on the Chiltern Line)

But the Tube strike means a severely reduced service will be operating on all London Underground lines.

London Overground should be running as normal but overcrowding is a dead cert, so if you can avoid arriving by train you're best off doing so.

Driving to Wembley stadium

There's official stadium parking available for those that book ahead, you can reserve a spot here .

Preston Road and Stonebridge Park also have parking options, with Wembley Stadium about a half-hour walk from both.

Getting to Wembley Stadium by foot

If you're willing to schlump it to the game on foot, then TfL has provided a map here .

Walking parts of your journey and avoiding jam-packed public transport may be the quickest and least stressful way to go.

Cycling to Wembley stadium
