You can take a bus, sure. A few routes stop nearby. But here’s the thing: the bus will get stuck in the same traffic you’re trying to avoid. It’s like choosing a slow treadmill at the gym—technically possible, but why would you? Walking is lovely if you live within a mile or two, but for most of us, it’s a “nice thought” that ends with sore feet and a missed song.
If you’re coming from far away, like Surrey or Milton Keynes, you might need a train into London first. That’s fine. Just aim for a main station like London Bridge or Waterloo, then jump on the Jubilee line. It’s like putting a puzzle together, but the pieces are labeled in bright colors. Even if you get lost, London is full of nice people with phones. Ask someone—they’ll point you toward the giant white dome.

Why You Should Care (The Fun Bit)
Okay, so why am I rambling about travel tips? Because getting there shouldn’t be the worst part of your night. You’re going to see something amazing—a gig, a show, a game. The memory should be about the singer’s high note, not the argument you had in a traffic jam. When you take the tube or the boat, you arrive calm, on time, and ready to have fun. You’re not a stressed-out driver; you’re a VIP passenger of the city.
Plus, the walk from North Greenwich station to the arena is a vibe. You pass restaurants, a cinema, and people buzzing with excitement. The air smells like popcorn and anticipation. That walk is part of the show. Don’t cheat yourself out of it by being stuck in a metal box on the road.
So, next time someone asks, “How do I get to The O2?” you can smile and say, “Tube to North Greenwich, or grab a boat for the vibe.” And if they drive? Just hand them this article. They’ll thank you later—probably while they’re still stuck on the roundabout. Now go enjoy the show.
