Let’s talk about the station. It’s not just a concrete box. North Greenwich was built in 1999 as part of the Jubilee line extension, and it feels spacious and airy compared to older Tube stations. You won’t feel like a sardine.
When you exit, you’re on a giant concourse that smells like popcorn and anticipation. The station is directly connected to the O2’s indoor boulevard, so you can grab a burger or a drink before the show without stepping outside. Pretty neat, huh?
There’s also a bus station right there, so if you’re coming from further out (say, Woolwich or Stratford), you can connect easily. It’s like the O2 built its own little transport hub just to spoil you.
Does the station get busy? Let’s be honest.
Oh yeah, after a big concert, North Greenwich turns into a human wave machine. Thousands of people all trying to get on trains at once. But here’s the trick: the station is designed for this madness.
They have multiple entrances and a huge ticket hall that absorbs the crowd like a sponge. You might wait a few minutes, but it’s rarely a nightmare. Plus, the Jubilee line runs frequent trains, so you’re not stuck forever.

Compare that to, say, Wembley Park or Finsbury Park, where crowds can feel like a rugby scrum. North Greenwich is more like a choreographed dance—annoying, but manageable.
