Copied from football ground guide :

Leave the M1 at Junction 2 and onto the A1, following the signs for City (Central London). Keep going on the A1 for around six miles, until you see Holloway Road Tube Station on your right. Take the next left at the traffic lights into Hornsey Road and the stadium is about a 1/4 of a mile further down this road.

There is little parking at the stadium itself or in nearby streets. An extensive residents only parking scheme operates around the stadium on matchdays. It's probably better to park further out of London around a tube station such as Cockfosters and get the tube to the ground. John Ellis a visiting Leicester City fan informs me; 'I found parking available at the Sobell Leisure Centre on Hornsey Road (N7 7NY). Just a 10 minute walk away from the Emirates Stadium, it cost £6 up to four hours, or £15 for longer.' There is also the option of renting a private driveway near the Emirates Stadium via YourParkingSpace.co.uk.

Tony Attwood adds; 'Cockfosters underground station is the obvious station for fans travelling from the north - it is only about 4 miles south of the M25. It has its own car park but this can be full by as early as 12.30pm. What's more it can be difficult to exit after the game, with most drivers seeking to come out and cross the main road to head north. Unless you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the streets around the general area of the Emirates, it really isn't worth trying to find some street parking. Football fans on matchdays are easy pickings for the traffic wardens, who contrary to popular belief, do work on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.'

No great expert in driving routes from Cambridge (I’m not even a beginner at driving, full stop!) but, if you’re coming down the M11, Walthamstow/ Blackhorse Road might be decent options. Be a 10 minute tube to Highbury & Islington or Finsbury Park & the ground is easily walkable from either.

or just get a train direct from Cambridge to Finsbury Park (there are 2 an hour I believe) and forget the car. I live nearby Emirates and parking within a mile or 2 of the ground is a nightmare and the wardens target match days for revenue generation!!

I always park at this school mate - think it was £15 last time I went but may be a bit more

It's a bit of a trek to the ground, 20/30 minutes but you'l be lucky to find somewhere closer.

Incidentally I once stopped to ask someone for directions and ended up giving him a lift home with his shopping and parking on his drive which was a few minutes from the ground. Random
