THE New York Jets will play the Minnesota Vikings in London for Sunday's Week 5 kickoff, and UK fans are in for a treat.
The Jets and Vikings will look to put on a show in Week 5 for international NFL fans, and this matchup is one of the best matchups there has been in Europe. While both teams are playoff hopefuls, there will also be the added storyline of New York playing their former quarterback.
Sam Darnold has had an incredible start to the season for Minnesota, as the team is 4-0 and he looks like an MVP candidate. Despite being one of New York's first picks, the talented quarterback didn't pan out with them.
With the game taking place on the other side of the Atlantic, many fans will make the trip, like when the York Jets played the Atlanta Falcons a few years ago. Like when traveling to a road game in America, it's important to prepare for the best mode of transportation.
Fortunately, renting a car shouldn't be necessary if you plan to stay in and around the City of London. Like New York, there are many options for getting around.
Here are some tips for Jets fans who will be making the trip to see their team in London and how to get around this beautiful city.
Take the tube! If you're familiar with the New York subway, you can navigate the subway, but watch out for space!
Take a double-decker bus. With plenty of public and private tour buses to choose from, why not combine the journey with a hop-on, hop-off guided tour to take you from one point in the city to another.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the Jets play the Vikings, is not in downtown London, but about 8 miles outside. Like MetLife Stadium, it is not in downtown New York. The best ways to get to the stadium from London are by train (25 minutes), bus (45 minutes), taxi/car (20 minutes).
With many people expected at the game, be sure to allow yourself a little extra time to navigate the preferred mode of transportation.
For traveling Jets fans who are used to traveling in the Tri-State area, using public transportation in London should be pretty easy.
