Okay, so the tube is fine. But have you considered arriving by boat? Yes, a real boat. The Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is a thing. And it’s glorious.
You board at places like Embankment or London Bridge. You buy a ticket (it’s pricier than the tube, sorry). Then you sail down the Thames, wind in your hair, feeling like a minor royal on a day trip to a concert.
The boat drops you right at the O2’s pier. You walk off the boat and onto the peninsula. You will look cool. You will feel cool. Even if you’re just going to see a tribute band.

But is it faster?
Not really. But it’s much more fun. If the weather is nice, it’s the only choice. If it’s raining, you’ll get wet. But that’s part of the British experience, isn’t it?
