London O2 Arena: How to get there from Victoria Coach Station

The O2 is one of the capital’s most popular venues, with people from across the country travelling to the spot to see their fave artists and figures perform. If you are one of those travelling, you may be arriving into the city via Victoria Coach Station.

The coach stop offloads visitors and tourists from cities and towns from across the UK, and while some make the trip to see the sights of London, others travel there to be one step closer to the concerts and events at the O2.

Whether it’s your first trip to the city or you have been to London before, navigating its underground can be difficult. However, you can prepare your trek to the venue through the TFL journey planner or apps on your phone, such as City Mapper.

The closest stop to the O2 Arena is North Greenwich station which is just a brief stroll from the arena. North Greenwich is on the Jubilee line, which those travelling from Victoria Coach Station can join after switching from either the Victoria, Circle or District lines.
