Parking & Transport

There are loads of great ways to get to The O2 – take the tube, grab a taxi, ride the bus, or even hop on the Uber Boat by Thames Clipper. You can find us at The O2, Peninsula Square, London, SE10 0DX

Need to drive? No problem - we’ve got 2,500 parking spaces spread across four car parks: 

• Car Park 1: Event parking & drop-off/pick-up only

• Car Parks 2-4: Non-event parking (cinema, shops, restaurants, Up at The O2 etc.)

*All car parks have accessible parking bays for Blue Badge holders.

 

Coming to an Arena or Indigo event?

Pre-book your parking to avoid disappointment. Spaces fill up fast, and can be booked from general on-sale day to 24 hours before the show.

CLICK HERE to pre-book your event parking today. 

  • If there are two shows in a day and only one time is showing, choose that slot. Parking is valid from 10am (or earlier if a show starts earlier than this) to 10am the next day.
  • If pre-booing is full, we have a limited pay on the day option, first come first served basis. Head to Car Park 1 on event day and our marshals will be happy to help.

Rescheduled/cancelled events or changes

Rescheduled/cancelled events: If your event is rescheduled, we’ll automatically transfer your pre-booked parking to the new date. If the event is cancelled, or you can’t go to the rescheduled date, we’ll give you a refund. Refunds can take up to 10 working days to show on your bank statement.

*Please note refunds are only available if an event has been cancelled or rescheduled*

Changes: If you need to change any details (like your car registration) after booking, just email the team: theo2carparking@theo2.co.uk

 

Visiting the shops, cinema, restaurants or Up at The O2?

No need to pre-book. Pay at the machines (cash or card) in Car Parks 2, 3 and 4. Cinema goers get four hours free parking. Just validate your ticket at the Parking Office (open 24 hours a day) in Car Park 1 after your film.

Prices

We have a travel plan agreement in place with the local council, so non-event tariffs are cheaper than event day tariffs. If you think you’re being charged incorrectly, come to the parking office before you pay and we’ll check. We might not be able to offer a refund once a tariff’s been paid.

VIP/Suite holders

Parking isn’t included with your ticket as standard – check with your main point of contact from the suite holder if they’ve given you a parking ticket.

To pre-book: Your main contact from the suite holder can arrange parking through their system (subject to availability). Valet parking is offered at a discounted rate to Suite guests.

Drop-off: You can be dropped off at the VIP loop via Meridian Gate, if you’ve provided your details in advance. Your main point of contact from the Suite holder can do this for you. Just let them know your vehicle details (guest name, driver name, registration plate, car make/model, mobile number) which will be registered with the parking team, who will grant you entry.

 

Other Transport

On event day, we can have up to 2,000 cars trying to leave at the same time, plus buses, minicabs and taxis, on limited road access. Why not try some of the other great types of transport on offer? 

  • Tube: The nearest station is North Greenwich, on the Jubilee line.
  • Boat: The Thames Clipper service stops on the North Greenwich pier just a 3-minute walk from the main entrance of The O2. For the timetable – click here.
  • Bus: There are lots of buses that stop at North Greenwich bus garage, just 2-minutes away from The O2. For more information click here.
  • Taxi: There’s a taxi rank outside North Green bus station just a 2-minute walk from the O2.
  • Cable car: Why not travel in-style and get the Cable car to the Greenwich Peninsula?
  • Cycle: There are over 400 cycle racks in the North Greenwich station, and in Car Parks 2, 3 and 4.
  • Walking: If you live locally, walking to the O2 is the best way to travel without any transport disruptions. There are lots of walking routes including the Thames path that joins with the DLR and bus services.
