Just managed to blag New Order tickets for October.
The Holiday Inn express looks like the lowest stress option, but if I was to try to get out of the area, whats the best approach after a gig?
North Greenwich Tube station is obvs the nearest, but options for walking a bit first?

North Greenwich has a bus terminal too or at least it did ten years ago. In terms of accomodation you've got Greenwich or you could look at options on the Jubilee line.

Took my son to BTS last year, no, 2018. About 45 minute queue to get on tube at North Greenwich. Quite a big, dense crowd, but super chilled teen nerds, and good weather. I'd imagine it could be a lot less fun with the wrong crowd. I've not been to a New Order gig since the eighties, so you might predict the mood better than me. Anyway, this is STW, so the correct answer will be to bike to a different tube line, then set up a bivvy on Lincoln's Inn Fields and drink artisan coffee until morning.

The O2 is on a penninsular so geographically its tricky to walk away, certainly to a decent area.

The area is being heavily developed so there might be better options nearer the time.

The Holiday inn overlooks the busiest road in south london...
