How to get to The O2: Tube, boat, car and chauffeur travel
Heading to The O2 for a concert, event or evening with clients? You can travel by Tube, boat or car, or book a chauffeur to handle the drive.
This guide covers your options for getting there, parking and planning the journey home. If you’d prefer to arrive by car without driving yourself, explore OUNO’s London chauffeur service.

How can you get to The O2?
A chauffeur is one way to travel, but The O2 is also connected by public transport:
| Travel option | Where you arrive | What to plan ahead |
| Tube | North Greenwich station on the Jubilee line | Check your route and the service running after your event. |
| Bus | North Greenwich station | Check which route serves your starting point and when the return bus runs. |
| River bus | North Greenwich Pier | Check the timetable; post-show boats run on selected event nights. |
| Cable car | Greenwich Peninsula, after crossing from Royal Victoria | Check opening hours, especially if you hope to use it on the way home. |
| Drive and park | Car Park 1 for arena or indigo events; Car Parks 2 -4 for other visits | Pre-book event parking where possible and allow time to leave after a show. |
| OUNO chauffeur | The free, signposted drop-off point in Car Park 1 | Arrange your return journey and agree a collection point. |
Choose the route that suits your plans, and make sure you’ve thought about the journey home too.
Key Facts - Arriving by car to The O2
- Valet Parking: From £75 (pre-booked)
- Standard Drop-off: Car Park 1 (free, signposted)
- Pre-booking deadline: Until midnight, the day before the event
- Chauffeur option: OUNO. Fixed fares. No surge. Professional chauffeurs.
Where can your chauffeur drop you off at The O2?
The drop-off point depends on the access arranged for your visit.
- Car Park 1 has a free, signposted drop-off and pick-up point just off Millennium Way. This is the option to plan around for a standard chauffeur booking.
- Meridian Gate is used for The O2’s valet service and eligible VIP or Suite guest arrivals. VIP drop-off requires vehicle details to be registered in advance through the guest’s Suite contact; booking an OUNO chauffeur does not itself grant access.
Chauffeur tip: Allow extra time before an event and agree your collection point in advance. Traffic around The O2 can be slow, particularly after a show.
How does valet parking at The O2 work?
If you’re planning on driving yourself there but still want VIP access, then you don’t want to be parking miles away from the doors. Valet parking at The O2 is strictly for arena events – and it’s worth every pound.
- Price: £75 if you pre-book, £85 on the day
- Access: via Meridian Gate (use the black gate on Millennium Way)
- Hours: Opens 2 hours before doors, car returned immediately post-show
- Booking: Closes 24 hours before the event
Hand over your keys at the gate and head to the arena. No searching for a space.
Arrive. Hand off. Enjoy.
Is there parking if I’m not attending an event?
Yes. For shopping, a film or another daytime visit, use one of The O2’s non-event car parks.
- Car Parks 2 – 4: Best for Outlet shopping, Cineworld and Up at The O2.
- Hourly rates: £7 (2h) to £52 (24h)
- Electric charge points: BP Pulse
- Retail offer: 4 hours free parking if you spend £35 or more at Outlet Shopping and show your eligible receipts before leaving.
Useful if you’re visiting during the day. For an arena or indigo event, use Car Park 1. Valet parking is also available for arena events.

Simple. Book an OUNO chauffeur.
