When it comes to electrifying pop performances, few artists command the stage like Charli XCX. Known for her high-energy shows and now-TikTok-famous anthems from her latest album, BRAT, Charli XCX is set to light up the O2 in London on Thursday 28 November 2024 with a concert that fans won't want to miss.
As one of the most anticipated events of the year, her concert promises a night of unforgettable music, stunning visuals, and the vibrant atmosphere that only the O2 can offer. However, if you’re one of the thousands planning to attend — especially by car — finding convenient parking can be challenging amidst the crowds.
Here’s our advice for finding parking near the Charli XCX show at the O2:
Book a parking space ahead of time near the arena
Reserving a space is the simplest and most convenient option when finding a parking space for most concert-goers. Not only will it save you time and money on the day-of, but it will also give you guaranteed access to a parking space near the O2 and can offer flexibility that other traditional car parks can’t.
Using the JustPark app or website, you can search, find and reserve a space which should tick most of your boxes when looking for parking:
- You can search for spaces within walking distance of the stadium and get more affordable rates than local car parks or unsecured pop-up parking
- You should be able to escape the crowds more easily leaving your car in a slightly less congested area
- You can extend your parking session easily through the JustPark app if you’re facing delays getting out of the stadium crowds
- You can have peace of mind knowing that you’ve got a guaranteed parking space upon arrival
Given the popularity of this particular tour, we recommend booking a parking space ASAP so you don’t miss out on available options.

Park nearby and take public transport to the O2
With the O2 Arena only being a short walk away from North Greenwich station on the Jubilee Line, commuters are able to access the venue quickly and reliably, especially during peak hours when events are taking place. Public transport is a popular option for concert attendees who live locally, but not everyone has access to nearby stations or those coming in groups may find it more convenient to drive.
If you’re travelling from a greater distance and want to park at a nearby railway station to cut down costs, you can get to North Greenwich in the following ways:
- 10 minutes from London Bridge Station
- 15 minutes from Waterloo Station
- 25 minutes from Bond Street Station
Park at a further distance and take the train
Strategically planning your route will save you a lot of time and hassle on travel day. While this option might take you a bit more time depending on train schedules and availability, you can save majorly on parking costs and take the train for a partial journey to your destination.
Depending on which direction you’ll be coming into the city from, there are numerous options including Ebbsfleet, Redhill and Luton.
How long is a Charli XCX concert?
You can expect to be at a Charli XCX concert for 3-4 hours, depending on when you arrive, if you plan to see the opening act (Shygirl, if you were interested) and if set time runs over.
Doors open at 18:30 for this show, and you can expect the final song - including encore - to wrap around 23:00. For whatever reason, if you’re finding the show is running late or you’re having difficulty escaping the crowds when leaving the arena, you can extend your parking session to avoid unnecessary penalties.
Live near the O2? Rent out your driveway for extra income
While you might not be attending the tour dates, you can still benefit from the influx of crowds coming into the area for other events and on matchdays. If you’re a homeowner in the North Greenwich area and have a driveway with extra space, simply rent out your driveway to earn a side income and benefit those in need of car parking; it’s as easy as that. You can set your availability and pricing so you’re in full control of your space.
