Parking at 02/getting there?
 
In the hope of possibly getting tickets, can anyone give a non-Londoner advice on what the parking is like around there, if any (website seemed to sy car park opens July??!!!!) or suggestions of where else to park/tubes to the venue, etc.......please?!

I'm sure it wont be a problem getting there, by tube or bus at least. I'm heading across from Ireland and dont really worry about these type of things anymore as they always work out in the end and its easy to find your way around london! If your taking the car though, thats a different story. personally, i always avoid taking the car to the bigger gigs as the parking is always horrendous.

if you have a look at the other artists playing who have actually announced, theyre selling carp parking separately.... theres a tube not to far away and i know for the scissor sisters theres waterbuses in place, again you had to buy these separate

I'd reccomend parking at a tube station on the very outskirts of London...then getting the tube there and back... :)

or even see if you can get a National Express coach to London, and then get a tube to the 02 from the bus station...

^thats what i've done a few times, left the car on the outskirts paid about £3.00 for weekend parking and got into the centre on tube...

or just got the train down, its easier!

Okay - anyone recommend any tube stations with good parking on the outskirts??! I'd be travelling up by car from the south-west.
Thanks for all the advice, I will check out the coaches & trains too but I'd be needing to travel back the same night & have always found in the past they don't seem to leave London after a certain hour!

that's a map of Londons tubes...so you can kind of work it out from that which would be the best to park at travelling from your direction :)

i have only ever used Cockfosters for parking at with bein north of London...

Yvonne 03-27-2007 02:31 AM

ive parked at stanmore which is north london....

when i've come from the south, i've always managed to get the last train home from waterloo, i've been to the theatre in london and travelled back to portsmouth in plenty of time using trains and tubes

I haven't travelled to Stanstead Airport in quite a while but is there a tube line in Stanstead, or some sort of connection to a tube line from the airport?
I've checked the london travel planner and it seems I'd have to take a few buses:( .

Also, would it be possible to get back to stanstead after the gig for an early flight?

Does anyone know the name of the station closest to the dome?
