Is there a bus from the o2 to liverpool street?

Soon I've got to travel from the o2 arena in London to Liverpool street station. Is there a bus for that? I know your all going to tell me to get on the underground but I have a stair/ escalator phobia so I will try and avoid the underground at all costs!

    Down the right hand side, choose your preferred mode(s) of transport.

    I don't think there's a direct bus but I'm sure it's possible with 1 change, though it's likely to take a while to get there.

    Have a look on the TfL journey planner, here Put in your date and time of travel and untick everything apart from bus in the "I use these modes" bit

    Edit: and I should have refreshed the page before posting :rotfl:

    I guess it'll take at least 2 buses as you're on the wrong side of the river. You could get the cable car from the O2 then the dlr to Stratford and then an overground train.

    I take it you aren't going to See anything at O2 then, as there are steps, lifts and escalators to all levels

    The platforms at Stratford are via steps and lifts. Not sure if OP has a fear of lifts too

    You're right, for some reason I was associating the steps and being underground together. But what if there are a lot of people on the bus and the op has to go upstairs too?

    Op, what about a taxi?

    No I'm not, I'm going to a job interview near there. The night before I am staying at a b and b in Stratford and the next day I need to go straight from the interview to Liverpool street.

    I'm not scared of lifts, there are lifts at Stratford.

    I know I can't avoid all stairs and escalators in London but if I can minimise the amount it all helps!

    I would suggest a 108 bus back to Stratford, then a train direct to Liverpool Street.

    What about the River Bus? Goes from North Greenwich Pier at the O2 to Tower Millennium Pier which is walkable to Liverpool Street. Takes under half an hour and is good fun.
    See here for details.
    Can I help?

    108 bus and N108 24 hour operation - every 6 minutes daytime single deck midi bus - goes via Blackwall Tunnel. If your train stops at Stratford you don't need to go back to Liverpool St on the way home
