Travel
The Copper Box Arena is in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, London. Public transport is the best and easiest way to get to and from the Park, either by train, underground, bus or cycle.
The nearest underground stations are Hackney Wick (5 minute walk) and Stratford (15 minute walk).
The 388 bus runs every 10 minutes from Stratford bus station to Blackfriars station and stops directly outside the Copper Box Arena (stops M & N).
There are more than 140 cycle racks outside the Copper Box Arena, including a Santander Cycles docking station located outside the centre.
Stratford International station is just a 10 minute walk away.
St Pancras International & Kings Cross stations are just seven minutes away by the South Western Javelin train – stopping at Stratford International.
The M25 is only a 25 minute drive away.
Parking
There is no parking available at the Copper Box Arena. There is parking available in nearby Westfield (a 5-10 minute walk from the venue). We advise anyone choosing this option to pre book as it can fill up quickly at weekends and can be expensive if you have not booked.
Accommodation
London offers an endless amount of accommodation options to suit everyone’s needs and budget.
To get the best value, we recommend that participants and spectators find a suitable hotel anywhere within the London network, and travel into the Olympic Park each day using public transport.
Hotels close to the Park do charge a premium, so we advise everyone to research the best hotel/transport option for your team and followers well in advance to get the best deals.
