How to get to O2 in London during the Lady Gaga concert in 2025

29 Septiembre 2025

Attending a big concert in London is an unforgettable experience — but navigating the city before and after the show can be tricky, especially with heavy traffic and public transport crowds. When Lady Gaga performs at The O2 in 2025, planning your route ahead of time will help you enjoy the evening without stress. This article will guide you through the concert dates, how to reach The O2 from central London and Stratford, how to get into London by plane, what to wear, and how long the show typically lasts.

Lady gaga concert dates in London

Lady Gaga will bring her “The MAYHEM Ball” tour to London with multiple shows at The O2 Arena.
The confirmed dates are:

Monday, 29 September
Tuesday, 30 September
Thursday, 2 October
Saturday, 4 October

It’s wise to double-check on the official O2 or ticketing websites closer to your concert date for any updates or changes.

Where is Lady Gaga concert and what time does it start?

The Lady Gaga concert will be hosted at the iconic The O2 Arena, located at Peninsula Square in Greenwich, London (SE10 0DX) - a landmark almost as legendary as Gaga herself.

As the evening approaches, the arena doors open at 6:30 PM, giving fans time to settle in and find their seats. The show itself will begin at 7:30 PM.

Remember: your ticket likely lists both the “doors open” time and the performance start time.

It’s wise to treat the door time as your real deadline - arriving at 6:30 PM gives you breathing room to breeze through security, grab a merch tee, locate your entrance, and soak in the pre-concert buzz before the first note drops.

How long is a Lady Gaga concert?

Recent shows on Lady Gaga’s “Mayhem Ball” tour tend to run for about 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, including opening acts, interludes, and the encore.

Given the theatrical nature of her performances, expect a full, immersive experience with costume changes, visual effects, and seamless transitions.

How to get to the O2 from central London

One of the best ways to get to The O2 from central London is via the Jubilee line of the London Underground: take the Jubilee line to North Greenwich station, which is right next to The O2.

From central London, it typically takes about 20 minutes to reach North Greenwich by tube.

You can also combine bus or other transit modes depending on where in central London you're located, but using the tube to North Greenwich is usually the most direct.

Once you step off at North Greenwich, you’re only a short walk away from the concert hall itself. It takes roughly 3 to 5 minutes by foot to reach The O2 from the station entrance.

If you prefer, there are covered walkways and clearly signposted pedestrian paths connecting the station to the arena, making the transfer straightforward even during busy concert nights.

If the tube doesn’t serve your starting area, buses are a great alternative. Several bus routes stop at North Greenwich station, including 108, 129, 132, 161, 188, 422, 472, and 486.

One especially useful option is the 188 bus — it runs 24 hours and provides a direct link between central London (via Waterloo) and North Greenwich.

How to get to London by plane

If you’re flying into London, you probably already know that London has several airports -Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City - each with different strengths in terms of route network and transit connections.

Stansted is often one of the most convenient choices for concertgoers, especially if you're booking at the last minute. It’s a major hub for low-cost airlines, so even spontaneous or discounted flights frequently land there.

From Stansted you have flexibility: you can head straight into central London or you can stop at Stratford - a smart move if you're arriving the same day as the show. From Stratford, it’s a quick tube ride (Jubilee line) to The O2.

From Stansted to Stratford or Liverpool Street in central London

If you are looking for a fast and convenient connection, choose Flibco bus from Stansted to London. The service was launched in April 2025, connecting Stansted with London in a frequent, 24/7 schedule.

Coaches depart every 30 minutes, day and night, stopping at Stratford and Liverpool Street.
From Stratford to Stansted, the ride takes about 50 minutes; from Liverpool Street, approximately 90 minutes depending on traffic.
Tickets are valid all day (up to 4 AM) if your flight is delayed, and there are flexible ticket options.
The service is competitively priced and often cheaper than many rail alternatives, making it ideal for cost-conscious travelers.

So in short: if your flight lands at Stansted, you won’t be stuck. Use Flibco to bridge your way into London or Stratford, then hop onto the Tube or local transit for the final leg to The O2.

Now that you know how to get there, how about some advice on what to wear to a Lady Gaga concert?

What to wear to a Lady Gaga concert

Concert fashion can be fun, but also practical. Here are some suggestions:

Comfortable shoes - you’ll likely be standing or walking a lot.
Layered clothing - indoor venues can get warm, but evenings and travel may be cooler.
Light waterproof outerwear - London weather is unpredictable; a compact rain jacket may help.
Bag protocol - bring a small bag – one A4 size bag or smaller is allowed per person. If you bring a bigger one, you will have to leave it at the bag storage facility outside the main entrance (£ 10 per bag).
Thematic or fan gear - if you want to show your Lady Gaga fandom (T-shirts, glow sticks, accessories), absolutely go for it - but keep it practical.
Ear protection - optional, but for loud concerts, earplugs can be smart.

Also check the arena’s rules about prohibited items (e.g. large bags, outside food or drink) before you go.

If you want to dial up your style and channel more of Gaga’s spirit that night, here’s a quick style tip roundup from what’s trending:

Go bold. Think metallics, sparkle, and edgy accents - sequins, leather, fishnet or iridescent finishes are all in.
Embrace statement accessories - oversized sunglasses, layered jewellery, and pieces with visual impact make your outfit pop under concert lights.
Mix contrast - pair something daring (a graphic or statement piece) with something practical so you don’t sacrifice comfort.

In short: lean into the drama, but balance it. Let your look reflect your favorite Gaga era - while still letting you move, dance, and enjoy the night.
