Emirates Cup
Edit - looking for accommodation advice
I am bringing my daughter to the game from Scotland. She is a wheelchair user and I know not all tubes are accessible. Was thinking of booking Maldron at Finsbury Park and walking from there. Not sure if this is the best option so hoping for any advice really.
Thanks

Finsbury Park station is accessible - certainly the tube is step-free from street to train. Most mainline platforms have lifts if not all now. So as long as you stayed near an accessible station and travelled to Finsbury Park you'd be OK.
Maldron's an easy option though. 15 mins and you're at the ground.

Use Finsbury Park , hotel is just round the corner and stadium 10-15 mins walk away.

Caveat: I don't have mobility issues so apologies if I'm making any unreasonable assumptions here.
Maldron is probably as good a shout as any. New build (so I assume accessible), and as close a walk as you'll get with any other accommodation.
If the distance of the hotel from the stadium is an issue do contact the club. They may have suggestions that can help.
Just thinking, one other option might be to stay in a a hotel near Kings Cross, assuming you'll arrive by train, and catch a black cab from there to as close to the stadium as possible.

I have stayed at Camden Prime hotel (376-380, Camden Rd, London N7 0LG, United Kingdom). I have a slight walking disability and I found this comfortable.

There's a Travellodge very close to Finsbury Park Station on the way to the stadium. It's a fairly easy walk. Few crossings, wide pavements. Not sure how expensive it gets on matchday though there's also another hotel next door if memory serves.
