Event-Day Parking at The O2 Arena
Parking can be pre-booked for Arena or Indigo events to avoid disappointment (The O2). Valet parking is available only for Arena events (The O2).
For the approach, follow Millennium Way towards the roundabout and take the second exit towards the venue car parks (The O2).

Event-Day Restrictions Around Greenwich Peninsula
Millennium Way is the named access road for the official arena car park, and the approach uses a roundabout before the second exit into the venue parking area (The O2). The route matters most before and after major shows, when traffic is concentrated around the peninsula entrance and a short wrong turn can add to the queue.
Drivers attending an event should use the official car-park approach rather than trying to leave a vehicle on nearby roads. These arrangements make event parking different from an ordinary Greenwich Peninsula visit, particularly when the arena is releasing a large audience.
