Hotels Near The O2 & Greenwich: Where to Stay for a Show (2026)

Next door: under 15 minutes on foot. InterContinental London - The O2 is the only bed with a door into the venue. It's a riverside tower of 493 rooms, suites and apartments on the peninsula, joined to The O2 by a private walkway, so Google's walk to the venue is about 2 minutes and North Greenwich station is 5. It has a spa with a 17-metre pool, three restaurants and two bars, so dinner before doors never means leaving the building. On Booking.com it was about £331 for the Tuesday (a smaller arena night), £352 for the Noah Kahan Saturday and £295 for the Monday with nothing on.

The trade-off is that you're paying for the walkway. The West End is about 25 minutes away by Tube, and the peninsula goes quiet once the arena empties. Book it the week the tickets go on sale; as one Google reviewer put it after a concert, "it was great to not have to worry about getting back to our accommodation after the show".

The Pilot is the other hotel in easy walking distance, and the one with character: a Fuller's pub on River Way with 10 individually designed bedrooms above it, 11 minutes' walk from The O2 and 10 from North Greenwich station. It's a traditional pub now surrounded by the peninsula's new towers, with a proper pub kitchen and free parking for guests. The rooms run from a nautical Captain's Cabin (a single-occupancy room with a porthole window) to Standard and Superior Doubles, and the direct rates include a full English.

It's also the clearest example of what a show does to prices here. The Standard Double was £178.20 with breakfast for the Monday, £314.10 for the Tuesday arena night, and for the Noah Kahan Saturday the only double left was the Superior Deluxe, at £350.10. The pub itself says its rooms go well in advance on show nights. It's a pub, so expect noise until closing; one Google reviewer found it "a bit noisy until 11/midnight but to be expected and no problem if you bring ear plugs". Check-in closes at 9:30pm, so don't arrive after the show.

A bus stop away: the south of the peninsula. Twenty minutes' walk south of the arena, where the peninsula meets the Blackwall Tunnel approach, two chain hotels do the job on a budget. Holiday Inn Express London - Greenwich on Bugsby's Way is the value pick of the pair: 19 minutes on foot to The O2, 18 to North Greenwich, or about 5 minutes on the 422 bus from outside. Hot breakfast is included, there's a bar serving pizza and pasta in the evening, and it has its own car park. On Booking.com it was about £140 for the Tuesday and £109 for the Monday.

On the Noah Kahan Saturday it was £280, double the Tuesday, and that's the pattern on any big night. The walk is along main roads by the Blackwall Tunnel approach, busy with gig crowds after a show but not pretty. Reviews are mostly warm about staff and breakfast, though one 2026 Google review reports bed bugs. For a cheap, clean bed within walking distance of the arena and breakfast in the price, it's the one I'd book.

Radisson RED London Greenwich The O2 is the livelier neighbour on Tunnel Avenue, with a bar and restaurant downstairs, 20 minutes' walk to The O2 and 19 to North Greenwich, or about 5 minutes on the 188 bus. Rooms have air conditioning and walk-in showers. On Booking.com it was about £151 for the Tuesday and £123 for the Monday; breakfast, where not in the rate, is £18.95.

The location is the catch, and guests say so: Tunnel Avenue is a road of warehouses and yards, and one Google reviewer summed it up as "a little odd as it is in the industrial estate but it is perfect if you plan on visiting the 02". The Noah Kahan Saturday was £265. Check-in doesn't start until 4pm. Choose it over the Holiday Inn Express if you'd rather have a livelier bar than a free breakfast.

The Angerstein Hotel is the cheap bed with a proper local pub underneath: a Victorian pub hotel from 1888 on Woolwich Road in East Greenwich, with darts and sport on the screens. It's 35 minutes' walk from The O2, but the 129 bus takes about 9 minutes and Westcombe Park station, two minutes away, has trains to London Bridge. On Booking.com the cheapest room on the Tuesday was about £116 (a twin with a shared bathroom), a Double Room £142, and the Saturday started from £141.75, one of the smallest show-night rises here.

Read the room names carefully: many rooms share toilets and showers, which is the complaint that comes up most in reviews. There's no lift, guests say there's no breakfast (a café a few minutes down the road does one), and a £50 deposit is taken on arrival. It suits two friends on a gig budget; it doesn't suit anyone who wants an en-suite without checking.

Greenwich town: a bus or a boat to the arena. Greenwich town centre, the old riverside village round the Cutty Sark, the market and the park, is about 50 minutes' walk from The O2, which nobody does after a show. The 188 and 129 buses run between the two in 11 to 25 minutes, and the Uber Boat takes 9 minutes from Greenwich Pier to North Greenwich Pier. It's where I'd stay for a weekend: the morning after, you're in Greenwich Park and the market rather than on a peninsula. ibis London Greenwich is the best-placed of the budget hotels, on Stockwell Street five minutes from Cutty Sark DLR and eight from Greenwich Pier. On Booking.com it was about £110 for the Tuesday, £71.28 for the Monday and £165.44 for the Saturday.

It's a standard ibis, with a lift, a lobby bar with a pool table, and 6 accessible rooms, and it doesn't take cash. The complaint to know about is heat: one recent reviewer found the room too hot to cool on a summer day. Parking is £25 a day on site. For the show, the 188 from the National Maritime Museum stop gets you to North Greenwich in about 14 minutes.

The Admiral Hardy puts you in the middle of Greenwich: en-suite rooms above a naval-themed pub on College Approach, right on the edge of Greenwich Market, two minutes from Cutty Sark DLR and three from Greenwich Pier for the boat to the arena. The Superior and Deluxe Kings look over the market; the Classics have city views. A Classic Double was £162 room only for the Tuesday on its own booking engine.

On the Noah Kahan Saturday it was already full in September, so book early for weekends. Check-in is at the bar, the pub below is busy with market crowds by day, and dogs are welcome at £10 a night. The rooms are above the pub, so call ahead (020 8293 9535) if stairs are a problem. For a couple who want Greenwich as much as the gig, it's my pick in town.

Novotel London Greenwich is the dependable family hotel, a minute from Greenwich station (trains to London Bridge in 10 minutes) and the DLR. It has 151 rooms, 34 of them family rooms and 8 connecting, a restaurant and bar, a gym and a sauna, and 32 parking spaces at £25 a day. On Booking.com it was about £132 for the Tuesday, £98 for the Monday and £171 for the Saturday.

To the arena it's the 129 bus from outside the station, about 21 minutes on board, or 11 minutes' walk to the Cutty Sark and the 188. Breakfast is extra. Most reviews are warm about staff and location; the recurring niggles are rooms that need some maintenance and a sofa bed that wasn't made up for a family of four, so confirm it at check-in.

Travelodge London Greenwich High Road is the cheapest proper bed in Greenwich: £79.99 for the Tuesday, non-refundable, and £110.99 for the Noah Kahan Saturday on Travelodge's own site. It's two minutes from Greenwich station and the DLR, with a Bar Café for breakfast and an evening meal. The 129 from Greenwich station reaches North Greenwich in about 21 minutes.

There's no air conditioning, only a desk fan, and several recent reviewers mention it; outside summer it matters less. One recent reviewer's room faced a noisy bar across the road. There's no car park, but Burney Street car park is a few minutes away and free after 6:30pm. The other Greenwich Travelodge, on Blackheath Road by Deptford Bridge DLR, was £73.99 for the Tuesday and £104.99 for the Saturday, but it's further from everything and one reviewer couldn't sleep for sirens and traffic, so I'd pay the difference for this one.

Staycity Aparthotels, London, Greenwich High Road is the group and longer-stay option: studios and one-bedroom apartments with full kitchens and air conditioning, 6 minutes' walk from Greenwich station. It's the highest-rated place here on Google (4.7 from 2,706 reviews). A studio for two was £184 on both the Tuesday and the Noah Kahan Saturday on its own site, and Booking.com had it at £112.50 for the quiet Monday, so it's best value on the biggest nights.

Check-in is online only and must be done before you arrive, and there's no daily housekeeping. Parking is £13 a night in a shared car park and must be booked ahead. For the arena it's a walk to the 129 at Ashburnham Grove, about half an hour door to door. Four friends splitting a one-bedroom apartment will do better here than in two hotel rooms. Its sister by Deptford Bridge DLR is adding hotel rooms from October 2026.

Premier Inn London Greenwich is the safe budget choice at the Deptford end of Greenwich High Road: air conditioning, the Thyme restaurant, a build-your-own breakfast where up to two children eat free with a paying adult, and 7 minutes' walk to Greenwich station. A Standard room was £103 non-refundable for the Tuesday and £130 for the Noah Kahan Saturday on Premier Inn's own site.

It's a 17-minute walk to the Cutty Sark and about half an hour door to door to the arena by the 129, so it's a Greenwich base rather than an O2 one. Parking is £12 a night in a shared car park, first come first served. Recent reviews are consistently good on cleanliness and staff. Pay £19 more for a Premier Plus room if you want a fridge for the post-gig drinks.

DoubleTree by Hilton London Greenwich is the most hotel-like option in town: a modern block on Catherine Grove, 10 minutes' walk from Greenwich station and 300 yards from Deptford Bridge DLR, with a restaurant, a bar, a gym and paid parking. One Booking.com guest singles out the skyline view from a top-floor room. On Booking.com it was about £137.65 for the Tuesday, £96.05 for the Monday and £170.04 for the Saturday, with breakfast £19 extra.

It's the furthest of the Greenwich hotels from the river, 20 minutes' walk from the Cutty Sark, and about half an hour to the arena by the 129. Reviews are strong on staff, weaker on rooms; one Google reviewer found theirs "Dated and in need of some TLC". A £50 deposit is taken on arrival. Ask for a refurbished room on a high floor.

Zedwell Hotel Greenwich is a converted office building by Deptford Creek where every room is a windowless, soundproofed "Cocoon" with filtered air, dimmable lighting and an en-suite shower, and nothing else: no TV, no kettle, no wardrobe. It's 9 minutes' walk from Cutty Sark DLR, and the 188 from Creekside reaches North Greenwich in about 19. On Booking.com it was about £96 for the Tuesday, £72 for the Monday and £147 for the Saturday.

It works for one night of sleep after a gig and not much more. Check-out is 10am, and early check-in, late check-out and luggage storage all cost extra, which is the main complaint in reviews. One Google reviewer's verdict is the honest one: "The windowless room is manageable for a night, but I couldn't see myself lasting longer."

Blackheath: one bus to the arena. The Clarendon Hotel is an independent Georgian hotel on Montpelier Row, looking over the heath towards Greenwich Park, and it earns its place because the 108 bus stops opposite and runs straight to North Greenwich in about 18 minutes. A Classic Double or Twin with breakfast was £132.05 for both the Tuesday and the Noah Kahan Saturday on its own site, the same price on a big night as a quiet one. Parking is free, and Blackheath station is a 12-minute train from London Bridge.

It's an old building and it shows. There's one lift, to the second floor only, and 8 stairs to reach the bedrooms on every floor except the ground floor. The car park holds about 50 cars for a hotel of well over 100 rooms, so don't count on a space. Rooms are plain, some run warm in summer, and the breakfast is the part reviewers praise. As one Google reviewer booking for a show put it, they were "told of the 108 bus that ran from right opposite the hotel straight to the O2".
