Speak to Gazza's Fat Mate.

He works in London and knows the underground.

From memory it take 30-40 minutes, hold on.

Swindon - Paddington (http://www.thetrainline.com) is about 1hr10. If you get on a train that stops in didcot it's cheaper to get a return from swindon to didcot, then a return + travelcard (tube) from didcot to Paddington than it is getting a direct ticket even though it's the same train.

North Greenwich 35 mins (http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk)- bakerloo towards elephant and castle, CHANGE at baker street. Take Jubilee towards West ham, get off at  North Greenwich.


When you get to North Greenwich, the dome is right at the exit of the tube stop.

North Greenwich is the tube station you need so it will be this

Paddinton to Waterloo (bakerloo line)

Waterloo to North Greenwich (Jubilee line)

Give yourself about 1 1/4 to get across London mate

Total journey time about 2 1/2 hours

The o2 is actually pretty cool now. The tube getting there is as shit as ever.

I guessed it would be, but it was the only time slot i could get around mine n Gianluca's birthday! ( it's what he asked for )
Was very supprised at the amount of people that wanted to see Tutankhamun's treasure!  I didnt even know who he was  :shock:
