flook75 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Had a great time at UFC 120 but got stuck in major traffic on the way to the o2 Arena We were stuck for nearly 2 and a half hours before finally getting to the arena, just in time to watch the 3 main fights. What was a bit annoying was that there were no diversion signs anywhere to point us in the right direction. Anyone else get caught up in a similar situation or was it just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GstarUk Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Should have got the train/tube. Or if you had to drive, should have lefted early and got there at 1pm. N chilled to 4pm when it starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnie66 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Drove down from Birmingham 141 miles in 2 hrs perfect....2 miles to go, tunnels closed, no directions to follow, absolutely awful traffic, No idea where to go, useless organisation by London, Police and O2 arena.

Plus, if you were coming down from Birmingham, what the hell are you doing trying to go to the o2 Arena via the City in the first place? Just go south bound on the M25, through the Dartford Tunnel, onto the M2 / A2 and you're there, easy peasy lemon squeezy! Piss poor planning produces piss poor performance. Simples. Oh yeah, and I travel a LOT for work round the UK, and there are signs a plenty all over the motorways coming into London that the Blackwall Tunnel has closures. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for people who will use the internet to whine and complain about "London, Police and O2 Arena" but can't use it to plan a journey ahead of time.
