Left work just before 8pm on the Isle Dogs. Turned right near Limehouse police station and a chap and his missus (both in 50s - not that, that makes a difference) pull along side me at the light.
“Is this the way to the O2?”
Told him to follow me - as I go through the Blackwall Tunnel on the way home.
Took him right to the Dome and showed them where to park for free.
Then on my merry way.
Probably added 5 mins to my journey, but at least they got to the 02 for the Neil Diamond concert.
I normally park in the tube car park for £5 I think it is & a couple of times I’ve been people have given me their tickets with hours left on so thats free parking I would never pay £20 to park down there!
Just below Car Park 2 is another car park. Go in there and straight ahead to the fence at the end. Behind the fence is where pushbikes and motorbikes park for free. There aren’t a great deal of spaces. Aparently there are a few places in the car park as well which are free. Need to ask one of the attendants in the hut.
Funny that - I spotted a Ducati monster parked up in the chevrons outside the bus stop there once, a duo of italian students looking for UEL - it was easier to take them there rather than explain.
Makes you feel good knowing they were grateful as well:)
