People sometimes ask about London Bridge or Waterloo. Are they close? No. They’re in a whole different universe. You’d need a taxi, a bus, or a small miracle to get to the O2 from there.
And please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t try Stratford. It’s not even the same planet. You’d end up riding the DLR for an hour, questioning your life choices. Just don’t.
If you’re coming from outside London, North Greenwich is still your best bet. It’s connected to the Tube network, but also to the river bus. Yes, a boat! How fancy is that? You arrive looking like a salty sea captain. Worth it for the Instagram.
What About the Parking Panic?
Oh, you drove? Brave. But the train is way less painful. Parking at the O2 is a nightmare—unless you’re rich and smug. You’ll pay a fortune, and you’ll still have to walk through a wind tunnel. The tube is cheaper, faster, and you can people-watch.
Plus, on the Jubilee line, you get that lovely jolt between stations. It’s like a free rollercoaster ride. Who needs Alton Towers?
