From central London, you’re looking at a journey of 15–25 minutes from stations like Waterloo, Green Park, or Bond Street. The Jubilee line is smooth and usually has air conditioning, a small luxury on a sweaty London evening.
If you’re coming from the east or south-east, you can also take the Thames Clipper river bus. It drops you at the O2’s own pier, and it’s a genuinely fun, scenic arrival.

Our tip: Buy an Oyster card or use contactless payment. Avoid paper tickets unless you enjoy queuing. The gates at North Greenwich can get busy, so have your card ready before you reach the barrier.
The Arena Experience Awaits
Once you exit the station, you’re immediately in the O2’s entertainment district. There’s a giant Up at The O2 climb, a cinema, and dozens of restaurants from Five Guys to fine dining.
If you’re early, grab a drink at the BrewDog bar inside. It’s loud, friendly, and you can people-watch. The crowd is a mix of gig-goers, sports fans, and families heading to the outlet mall.
Fun little fact: The O2’s dome is actually a former Millennium Dome, built in 2000. It’s now one of the most visited venues in the world, hosting everyone from Beyoncé to UFC fights.
