You can get the tube there from waterloo.

There is also a carpark right outside the arena - not sure about costs but their website will have info.

Driving to the O2 is a pain.  Getting out after is then another pain. 

Your best bet is to park somewhere else and then tube/train in.  I'm sure some of the larrrrrrrrrdoners on here will advise on where is best to 'park and ride'.

don't drive there whatever you do

Assuming you are going from leicester park up at the North End of the Jubilee line at Stanmore and get the tube to North Greenwich and back

Slight panic there, almost got virused!

Lee I've been to a couple of concerts there and live at J13 M1

The drive across London is a killer pre-concert

Best to get off the M1 at J4-5 and head to Stanmore and tube it down. It might seem like a long way to do it, but its far easier on the stress levels!

parking is £8 and there's a million spaces but the a13 has horrid new roadworks on it and I think the blackwall tunnel might be shut monday night

do what tighty suggests imo but don't stick around for too long after as last westbound tube from north greenwich is a lot earlier than last eastbound

Yes but don't hang around after, or at least check last times

There is also a lil boat thing that runs from the London Eye for a couple of quid and drops you off at the door step. But not sure of the parking around there. Great way to travel as it has a bar as well. Although they don't take kindly to you smoking in the toilets...
