Where did you park??

[B Road Blaster]

At the o2 mate you can pre-book a space its not cheap iirc its around 25 quid !!!!!!!
They have plenty of spaces but a few other things like the cinema use them as well
so we have always found its best to pre-book on there website mate

If it's anything like what the Foo Fighters gig i wen't to at West Hams ground a few weeks ago. The Trains were ******* mental coming out at the end. We actually got to the train doors and turned back as it was that packed. Ended up using Uber for the first time and it was effortless, quick and cheap enough. Stayed at the Marriot West Indian Quay so it is quite close to the O2.

If i were to go back down to the big smoke around the docklands area i would park a bit away and get an Uber tbh.

I was at the Friday night show and getting away was a nightmare, a lot worse than Wembley and the o2, which surprised me. Well worth it for the, er, stadium rock show

Then again the Spurs matches at Wembley have taught me how to get out without getting kettled (head left at the bottom of the ramp and to the left of the Sainsbury's) and the Meantime bar outside the o2 is always open for quite a while after the shows, so I have a few pints while I wait for the crowds to die down. I didn't even learn much for the future if I find myself at the London Stadium again.

It was indeed a nightmare going home. We waited for about 20 mins to get to the station platform then when the DLR came around it was chuffing packed to the gunnels so we about turned and left the station. Got a few daft looks from people as we left but it was the right move. We contemplated walking the couple of miles back to the Hotel but thought better of it so i wen't on my mobile and booked an Uber for the first time, literally 2mins later he was there and off we went back to the digs for a nightcap before bed. 

Great gig though and the stadium was nice as well.
