Let’s be honest. Driving to The O2 is a nightmare. You’ll pay £20 for parking and then sit in a queue for an hour. Listening to the support band on a car radio? Tragic.
The train lets you skip the chaos. You can watch other people suffer from a climate-controlled safety bubble. Plus, you can practice your air guitar without crashing.
Quirky Fact #1: The O2 area was built on a polluted gasworks site. Beneath your feet are 100 years of toxic goo. You’re partying on a superfund site! Don’t lick the floor.
The journey from central London? Ten minutes. From Baker Street? Maybe 15. You have more time to buy an overpriced hot dog inside.
The “Do Not Do” List
Do not take the DLR. It looks fun—driverless trains, great views. But it drops you at Cutty Sark. Then you need a bus or a 20-minute walk. You’ll miss the first song. Rookie mistake.
Do not take a National Rail train to Charlton. You will end up in a car park. Surrounded by sad, confused people asking for directions. The Jubilee line is your only friend.

Do not fall asleep. The last stop is Stratford. You’ll wake up in a shopping centre. No music. No glow sticks. Just a M&S Simply Food.
