Default How to get to the 02

Heading over to London for the concert Saturday but I've never been to London before and I'm not familiar with the whole Underground system.

I'm staying in Reading and getting the train down to Paddington Station Sunday. Any suggestions on how to get to the 02 Arena from there are greatly appreciated.

Cheers....

From Paddington, take the Hammersmith & City line to Baker Street (2 stops). Then take the Jubilee line to North Greenwich (10 stops).

Pick up a London Underground map once you arrive at Paddington Station. Any worries.....just consult a member of staff

What kind of time do the trains stop at night?

I guess what I'm really asking is, would there be any issues getting back to Kings Cross after the gig?

Thankin you!

Like the man just said, its no problem whatsoever.

And theres also more detailed instructions on ticketmaster.co.uk and the official O2 website.

Trains stop at midnight but I guess the show won't be that long (unfortunately) Last train that can get you all the way to Kings Cross should be around 11.25 of something. It takes 28 min for us to get from the arena to Euston Station.

I'm travelling from Stansted to the O2 and when I was looking on the London travel planner site for the best route I got a message saying:

Please note that the Terravision service will only stop at Bromley By Bow upon specific request and if booked in advance.

for when I have to get a bus from stansted airport.

Has anybody used this service before and does anybody have any idea how you go about booking it in advance?
