Question Been to The O2 Arena at weekends with Jubilee line closed?

How did you manage it, and how long did it take? Did you use the replacement bus service? Going to a concert on Sunday evening and trying to work out the logisitics of getting there and back to Victoria coach station.



Any advice is much appreciated!

Thanks.

I cant really help but my doom and gloom story that it took nearly 90 mins getting from the o2 to the travelodge i was staying in at city airport changing buses all over the place. Thank god for the oyster card or it would have cost a fortune.

Re: Been to The O2 Arena at weekends with Jubilee line closed?

i was there 2 weeks ago and the jubilee line was down after you get past the o2, so from the centre of london to the o2 you were fine. i got an email about the lines earlier but didn't read it. check the tube website for details

there are plenty of buses outside the o2 so getting a bus to another tube station shouldn't be too much of a hassle, but 21,000 people leaving a gig must be a nightmare. fortunately after the prince gigs we had aftershows at the indigo2 inside the o2 so after those at 4am there were around 2,000 people leaving, but the tubes were closed then so it was a scramble for taxis etc
