Just park in the normal car park. When your driving to that car park the stewards will stop u and ask why you are visiting the O2. Just tell them you are going to the cinema and you will be directed to the regular car park. Everyone does that but just make sure u get there early as that car park gets jammed. Oh and no matter how many times the stewards stop and ask u, tell them you are going cinema or just going to for something to eat. I cant remember the cost of the regular car park but nowhere near the price they charge for the 'events car park'. £4.00 or £5.00 I think,

It may take quite a while to get of that car park afterwards as it is so rammed but is so much cheaper so worth it.

You could park anywhere in London, and then tube it to The O2.

There is a retail park about half a mile away, follow signs to sainsburys. Parking is free and there are loads of buses that go right to o2 from there. Will save you time and money cos there are dedicated bus routes out of the o2 so you shouldn't get stuck in the mad traffic that comes out.

The Sainsbury's car park is not gated and it's a 24 hour shop, so there's always coming and going. And as mentioned, there are loads of buses - about six, I think. Also, if you Google map Azof Street or Mauritius Rd in Greenwich, you can park there and it's about 10-15min walk to O2 (or you can get the 188 or 422 bus which is 3 mins)

Hi
That sainsburys is a 24 hour one and next to a cinema, so parking won't be a problem.
From there you can get a 472, 161 or 486. Five minutes away and you won't get stuck trying to get out of the O2, as buses have there own lane.
Waiting 2 or 3 hours in traffic jams just to get on A2, isn't unheard of, because as well as the arena, you have the indigo, the vue, restaurants, pub and clubs. It can get very packed. I live near and always check it isn't a concert night, as there is no way I would go to the o2 for a meal or film these nights.

The traffic is always terrible getting out of the 02 after a gig, so public transport is a far better option (if you can and if it's running) - you can go by bus, underground or boat.
