    The O2 is immediately ABOVE North Greenwich tube station.....just go up a couple of escalators and you are there!
    However, you have to walk through the O2 (all inside, past loads of restaurants) in order to get to the tented palaces, where the show is on.
    All in all, it will take you about 10 minutes to get to the show from the tube station.
    :j :j Whoooo Thank you !!
    (I'm just so excited)

  • can anyone who has been let me know if there is much to do before show for children or is it just restaurants (is there a McDonalds or similar). Taking children and trying to engage how early to arrive.

  • I've got tickets for Sunday and I'm so excited.
    I just wanted to check that parking is £5 on Sunday and does any one know how long it takes to walk from the carpark to the tents?
    Thanks in advance and great post OP!

    It's 3 quid on a sunday. Bear in mind there is a chinese new year free event on from 12 - 2pm - so it may get busy up there!!

    Give it 20 mins to walk - especially with kids.

  • Just spoken to someone who advised to pre book parking. Said they went and paid a whopping £20 to pre book parking thru ticketmaster. Is it possible to prebook at a reasonable rate anywhere.

    Thats a rip off, we just turned up and parked, the car park cost £6, at weekends it is £3

    Why would you want to pre book?

    No fast food outlets to be seen thank goodness :)

    All resturants and not to badly priced either.

    Not much else to do unless you want to use the cinema or take them ice skating.

    The Ice skating is quite expensive though (£11 for adults) but if you are an o2 user (or have any spare o2 sims laying around) you can get on the ice B.O.G.O.F
