My brother runs the Antigallican pub in Charlton and I often take the bus from there to Peckham and walk the rest of the way. That isn't how I'd want to end a night after a gig of course, but if all else fails in the post-gig rush it's worth bearing in mind

There plenty of cabs at the taxi rank by the station, but I have seen queues of over a hundred people waiting by the time I finish, with more joining all the time.


If you get out literally as soon as the event is finished - don't hang around to use the toilet/buy merchandise etc - you won't have to wait very long.

I went to see Pearl Jam at the O2 in August and got a cab home after the show - there are little stands inside the venue where you can book one - we had to wait for about 5 minutes but the driver comes to the booth to collect you and takes you to the cab which is pretty much near the main entrance. The cost was ?22 and we were lucky enough that another couple was heading back to ED so we shared the cab and halved the cost. Definitely worth doing!
If it was me I'd book a local taxi company to pick you up somewhere near the 02. Its 10 quid from ed to greenwich, so would be what? ?15 from 02 to ed. By booking a local one to meet you at a certain time you avoid the ovbious huge queues for the 'o2' taxis at the end.

Whats this post got to do with the 185.............

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
