Okay, here’s the cool kid option—the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. Yes, you can arrive by boat! It drops you at the O2’s own pier, and it feels like you’ve arrived in style. The journey from central London takes about 30 minutes, and you get views of Big Ben and the Shard. It’s honestly better than most tour boats.
I did this for a concert last summer. The sun was setting, the river was sparkling, and I felt like a celeb. Pro tip: Use your contactless card or Oyster card, just like the Tube. The boats run late too, so you can glide home under the stars. It’s pricier than the Tube, but for the memory, it’s worth it.
Is the Walk From the Tube Hard?
Not at all. Once you’re at North Greenwich, it’s a five-minute walk through a wide, shiny corridor. You’ll pass shops and eateries, so it’s more of a gentle stroll than a trek. Even if you’re wearing heels or carrying a kid, you’ll be fine. Just follow the crowd—they’re all going the same place, happy and buzzing.
