Here’s the real magic: the Jubilee line runs fast and frequent, especially after events. When 20,000 people leave at once, the station handles it like a boss. You’ll rarely wait more than a few minutes for a train heading back to central London.
Pro tip: If you’re going east, you’re on the right track for Stratford and Canning Town. Going west? You’re heading straight to Waterloo, Green Park, and Bond Street. The line connects you to everywhere. It’s not just transport; it’s your VIP escape route.

The One Downside (And How to Beat It)
Okay, let’s be real: after a huge concert, everyone and their nan will be heading for the same escalator. It can get a bit snug. But don’t panic! Stay calm, keep your ticket ready, and move with the flow. The staff at North Greenwich are pros at crowd control—they’ve seen it all.
Alternatively, consider a short walk to the Emirates Air Line cable car (yes, a cable car!) over the Thames. It’s a ten-minute walk from the arena, offers stunning night views, and drops you near the Royal Docks. It’s quirky, fun, and avoids the initial crowd crush.
