My plan is to get to London around midday and then park at a friend's house in Bayswater, where after a bit of beer lunch I'd get on a tube and aim to get to the stadium around 3:30pm.
Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure where you coming from but assuming you will be coming in on M40/A40? No point in going past Wembley to bayswater only to come back on yourself.
I park just outside Hillingdon station (free street parking on sundays) hop on the tube for about 20 mins to Wembley park station.
On match days use contactless card on the barrier and costs a fraction of buying a ticket it's a couple of quid each way instead of 9 for a ticket.
Hillingdon is only about 2 miles back to the M25 so you miss most of the queueing traffic in and out.

sound advice. the bayswater option will add an hour + to your round trip.

Thanks both, that sounds like good advice. Hillingdon it is then.

You're spending a week in Newport! Have you been chained to the bed?
