If you have time and a touch of adventurous spirit, take the Emirates Air Line cable car from Royal Docks. It glides over the Thames and offers a stunning bird’s-eye view of the arena. It takes about 10 minutes and costs a few pounds.
You’ll land at the North Greenwich Peninsula, a 10-minute walk from the entrance. Heads up: It’s not the most direct route, but it’s the most Instagrammable. Pair it with a river bus for a truly scenic evening.

Driving: A Calculated Risk
Driving to The O2 is possible but requires a strategy. The car park is vast and well-organised, with 2,600 spaces. Pre-book your spot online to save money and stress—on-site prices can be eye-watering.
Expect traffic, especially on event nights. Insider tip: The O2 is in a low-emission zone, so check if your car complies. Alternatively, park at Westfield Stratford City and take the Jubilee line one stop—it’s often cheaper and less chaotic.
