How do you get home after the aftershow???

Hi there!

Just got tix for 2 of the aftershow smile

I found out that the underground is closed after around midnight til 6:00 in the morning...
So if I want to go back to the hotel I have to take some buses walks, and travel 1,5 hours in the night - all very very complicated.

My question to you: What do you do after the aftershows?
Do you hang around in clubs or restaurants near the indigo2 or do they all close at night?
And what about yellow cabs, I fear they have hight prices in london, but will there be enough cabs near the indigo2 to have the chance to get one?
Any fans from london?

I don't know the answer to your questions. After pondering the same problem I booked the Holiday Inn Express that is a short walk from the O2. Is it too late to change hotels?

I think there are nightbuses running all night, but imagine how full they'll get!

And I don't think they're very regular either.

no, i think there will be extra trains running past the midnight hour, usually that is what happens at big concert events.

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure everyone will get home on time.

if you check out the clipper services in london they lay extra boats on for aftershows at the indigo so hopefully there should be enough of them to go around
i went to an aftershow many years back in bagleys wearhouse and it didnt end till 5 am so by then the tubes were starting to run so hopfully wont be to much of a problem

actually folks, theres only 2000 tickets per aftershow so the buses which are very often won't be that full plus i'm sure loads of people will get cabs into town anyway which will cost around 20 quid to the west end at that time of night. peace out hope he plays electric chair.

The Thamesclipper runs until 4.30 am on aftershow party nights. The timetable is at http://www.thamesclippers...mmuter/166

Lots of options - the Thames clipper, night buses, and taxis. I looked at the cost of travelling etc and it actually worked out cheap to just rent a car and book parking at the O2. The downside is I'll be on the soft drinks. But anyway, I'd be surprised if the Org community couldn't arrange lifts home for folk that need them - there must be plenty of people driving, going in all directions after the show.
