Answer 5

You can get a tube up until 12:30 ish... walk to North Greenwich (well signposted) and get the Jubilee Line to Baker Street then get the Bakerloo Line to Paddington.

If you need to get the bus you need to walk to North Greenwich and get the 188 to Russell Square (last stop on this bus).  There you can pick up a night bus (N7) that goes through Paddington.

Answer 6

The 02 is quite unique, bands usually start at the time it says on the ticket.

I went to see Smashing Pumpkins in March, used to bands always going on at least an hour after the ticket says the starting time is.  We got there 15 minutes late and missed the first couple of songs!

So yeah the 02 understands people need to get home, so concerts should be finished in time to get one of the last tubes home... just don't hang around too long afterwards and you should be fine.

Answer 8

Last tubes are about 12:30 so you should be ok if you're just going to a concert, however, it's easier to get a bus into Central London from the O2 (by walking to North Greenwich station-closest station to O2) then get a tube onwards.

Answer 9

tfl.gov.uk is the only way to do that. just remember to use the advanced search and put in the time.. so it calculates night buses

Answer 10

you will be fine getting the tube, i have done it many times after a gig at the o2, just dont hang arround after the gig if your that worried!
