I foresee chaos after the GnR gig, so I've forked out for the special River Bus they've put on which is leaving 15 minutes after the end of the gig (whenever it ends), and takes about 20 mins back to Central London.

£7 or so plus booking fee.

Cheaper than a taxi and much much quicker than a bus.

That's quite good for London people it makes quite a few stops - just make sure you get out quickly.

Stops at Canary Wharf, London Bridge and London Eye (Waterloo) Piers.
There are 51 seats remaining for this service.

Fantastic. So Kimalogic can either get out at Canary Wharf and walk or out at Greenwich Pier and walk through the foot tunnel. Only thing is 15 minutes after event end is awfully early, it takes a while to get out of the O2 at best of times but with masses of people it's slower still.

Long hmm maybe cab option the best but no clue how much it will cost...

Won't be cheap, I took a taxi from Canary Whary station to the O2 when the Jubilee line was suspended on the way to a show and it was approx £20 that was about a year ago.

Did you take a black cab? They can charge a fortune. Call a taxi company and book it in advance, it will be much less - I think a ride from Liverpool Street Station to Island Gardens cost us £14 last time.

That's true, especially if you are on level 4 and have to queue to get down the escalators/stairs.

It is worth nothing that quite a few people will leave before the end of the concert to catch the last trains so it won't be the entire arena that empties after the show.

Don't some websites have a calculator that lets you enter the route and you can see what it app. will cost?

If they play really really late then the morning tube might be on on an hour or so.

[LondonCityNights]

What's been their last song at the previous shows? It might be best to leave as that song is winding down to try and beat the crowds.

[Beate]

Ok, so best plan of action is to ask Gun's and Roses not to start playing before 2am so you can all get the morning tube home? Mr G was planning the concert and then a midnight showing of Prometheus, he could do it the other way round then.
