Your hotel is where the arrow points on the map (See the link):-

http://www.streetmap.co.u...search.srf


Now check out this map:-

See where it says "Tunnels" on the right hand side of the map? That's where the arena is. Its a definate tube ride of taxi as you need to get to the other side of the river.

Try having a look at the Thames Clipper boat service....I know you can get on and off it right by the arena and it runs all night...not sure if there is a stop near you or not but it very reasonably priced:-

I´m also staying at this hotel for 31.08 + 01.09. Is it possible to walk through the tunnels?? I have tix for both aftershows and I´m not keen on waiting for a taxi for hours. Is there no other chance to get to the other side?? What about the tube???

Thanx for replies and excuse my poor english!!

The nightbus will take you through the tunnel - think it's the 108. Check times and routes on www.tfl.gov.uk smile

No, you can't walk through the tunnels...though a pedestrian tunnel would have been a good idea (if a little risky at night!!)

The tube outside the arena (North Greenwich in the Jubilee line) will run you to the other side of the line if you get on and head Northbound...but the next stop is Canning Town which is not very close to your hotel. If I were you I'd grab a taxi through the tunnel only if you're worried about the expense and then have a stroll back to the hotel.

i am staying at that hotel on Saturday (18th) and have just found the same problem about what i thought was a short walk.

if the aftershow dont finish till 3 or 4 am i dont fancy chances of walking to the hotel so guess it would be a taxi. If though they say he aint playing might get the tube back and miss the aftershow already paid for.

damn why didnt i think of this when i booked the hotel
