Firstly Hotels.. You've a choice of either staying in the Docklands, Greenwich or travelling back into Central London. More choice in the city centre, but also can be more expensive. Greenwich hotels are possible to reach by foot if the weather's OK, and if you chose the Docklands hotels, you'd be travelling in the opposite direction to the masses...(Most people will be travelling Westbound on the Jubillee line, back into Central London). I've listed a couple more websites in addition to the above recommendations.

To/from
Most visitors to the site seem to be recommending using the Thames Clipper to get to/from the O2 arena as the queues for the tube seem to be pretty long (as with any venue).
Though there were traffic problems after the first couple of shows, generally reports seem to show that driving by car looks to be quite a quick exit strategy now.
Taxis still seem to be hard to come by, so I wouldn't recommend relying one, or even pre-booking.

Thames Clipper - http://www.thamesclippers.com/article/commuter/166
£4 single / £8 return - recommended to book online, rather than queue up!

Car Parking - http://www.theo2.co.uk/web/guest/parking - Can be prebooked online. Around £20 per car.

Hope all that helps. Drop me a mail direct if you've questions or need a hand. Happy to help.

There's a Holiday Inn Express in Bugsby Way, which has parking (not free, it's about a fiver a day I think) and is about half a mile from the O2 so walkable, or buses stop outside.

Ok.... There's the De Vere Devonport http://www.deverevenues.co.uk/find-venue/devonport-house.html on the south side of the river which is probably your closest hotel, and the Premier Inn Docklands, but I stayed at the Bridgestreet Corona Apartments on the north side of the river when I went watching Prince at the O2, and it was incredibly easy to get back after the gig. So easy in fact that my memory only recalls being at the gig then being on the balcony of our apartment (overlooking Canary Wharf) with a bottle of vodka in one hand and a pizza in the other and raving about the gig.

You know how a traumatic or complicated journey invariably sobers you up or takes the sheen off a good night? Didn't happen here at all. All I remember is telling the concierge that I needed pizza when I arrived back at the apartments and, miraculously, it appeared 20mins later. After that, we ended up (again at the behest of the extremely tolerant concierge) taking photos of ourselves on the banks of the Thames with the O2 lit up in the background as if it was the promised land.

We stayed there last year. Easily walkable to the O2 Arena, booked it via Pigsback and got 2000 (£20) piggy points back
