Fine tune your own timings.
I imagine you’ll come on the A406 nearer this end, the fucking North Circular... That can be an absolute asshole of a road.
Deffo leave time for unexpected delays, accidents and many many many cameras and bullshit like that.
Sometimes I’ve driven to an area close to a station thats on the line I’d use, Shenfield to Liverpool street. Somewhere around Forest Gate, Gants Hill or the like where the stations arent in bigger towns like Ilford, Romford or Stratford where you can’t park near or by without it costing loads.
Find a backstreet to dump the car, which can be a challenge as most streets are permit only within certain times, then walk to the station.
The downside to that is, the entire area from here to London is a shithole.
Stratford International Train Station has parking - and you can pre-pay to guarantee a space
Can't comment on ease of leaving - assume it will be terrible as the roads round there are shite - but enjoy the gig
I got there for 3pm, had a good meal in the food court to avoid stadium rip offs, and a mooch round the shops before the short walk to the stadium for 6pm. Getting back was easy and the car park was over half empty as the shoppers had all gone home. Last time I took a tube back to a mates house from there after a gig, and the queue for the tube was 45 mins. So I’m thankful to all the Londoners for using public transport and letting us out of towners use our cars in peace.

The North London Line (part of London Overground) goes to Stratford. Might be worth parking somewhere around there. Somewhere like Kensal Rise or Brondesbury Park aren't far from the North Circular, so might be worth a look.
The Jubilee line is reasonably quick , so somewhere like Stanmore might work. The Metropolitan line skips a bunch of stations that the Jubilee stops at so parking a bit further out on the Metropolitan line and changing at Finchley Road could work. (Finchley Road is better than Baker Street as you just walk across the platform). If you parked somewhere like Rickmansworth, you are only a mile or two inside the M25 so the driving part of the journey would be pretty easy.
Not sure how easy it would be to park at some of these places though. The further out you are, the easier it will probably be, but the places with fast trains in like Rickmansworth are likely to be more difficult.
