Nearest station
Cutty SarkLines serving this event
🚉 Cutty Sark DLR is the most scenic and practical — straight into the heart of Greenwich. From Bank or Tower Gateway, no changes. The Thames Clipper from central London piers is also brilliant and arrives right by the Cutty Sark ship. Worth considering for the journey itself.
Food & drink nearby
Greenwich market and town centre have plenty of food options. Borough Market is reachable via the Jubilee line.
Insider tip
After a big O2 night, skip the North Greenwich crush and hop the Uber Boat from the pier right outside — far calmer than the Jubilee scrum. Cutty Sark DLR looks close but it's a 15–20 minute trek across the peninsula, so only if you fancy the walk.
