On the way to the O2: pubs before the event

This is a guide to getting to the O2 and meeting friends on the way. Almost everyone rides the Jubilee line to North Greenwich, so the last few stops fill up and the bars inside are three deep before the support act.
The pubs below sit on the Jubilee line and the DLR, so the group can meet for a drink on the ride in, then travel the last hop together. Plenty of people type 02 when they search for it: same place, the O2 on the Greenwich Peninsula.
Pick a pub in the first tab, then use Getting in for North Greenwich and the walk across Peninsula Square.
Getting in
Nearly everyone arrives at North Greenwich on the Jubilee line, and the bus station sits right outside the same ticket hall. North Greenwich Pier takes the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, and the IFS Cloud Cable Car lands a few minutes north of the entrance.
From North Greenwich it is a flat walk across Peninsula Square to Complex Main, which is door 1 and the way most people go in. Follow the signs for your block once you are inside.
Night Tube on the Jubilee line runs on Friday and Saturday nights only. On any other night, check the last train before you settle in for another drink.
Bag rules change from event to event and large bags are usually turned away, so travel light and check theo2.co.uk for the night you are going. Expect a search on the way in.

Pubs on the way
Tap a pub to see where it sits on the ride in. Usual times are a quiet-day ride in, not a live timetable. The before-an-event time already allows for trains being full, so leave at least that long.
How most people travel in
These pubs sit on the Jubilee line and the DLR, so the group can meet before the crush at North Greenwich and then travel in together.
