Well, here you can find a nice map you can print: http://www.bulgarianlondon.com/bg_lo...s/tube_map.gif

There are two Paddington stations (strange) so I don't know if you'll be taking the Circle line or the Hammersmith & City line, but no matter which one you take, they both go to Baker Street station. That's where you drop off. Then follow the directions on that station to change to the Jubilee line. Then catch that tube and drop off at North Greenwich station. If I'm not mistaken, the O2 should be to your right. But let's hear it from someone who lives there, because I've only been there once, in 2007.

As my tourist-book-map is packed with the rest of my stuff right now (my place is a mess because of renovation works) I can't tell you the directions of the tubes (Northbound, Southbound, whatever) because I have it written down. But people there are very nice and they'll help you if you ask for directions.

Aw Thanks so much. It's been a few years since I've been to London so I'm a bit rusty on my Tube travels, so I appreciate the help! THANKS!

GOD I want July 30th to be here like NOW...LOL!

Anyone know of an alternative route that's pretty quick from someone coming in from Euston, since the jubilee line is shut? I am staying at the custom house hotel on the 18th & was wondering how i can get there without getting lost.

Is the jubilee shut opening night!! :-o Have i missed this.

I suggest going to waterloo and using the thames clipper boat to go to the o2 its a nice way to get there it takes around 25mins theres a bar on board and you get a nice trip along the thames to see some of the sites :-)

I stayed at Globetrotter Inn when I went to London in 2007 and I recommend it. Loved it there, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the place was clean, the bunker beds have curtains and the showers have plenty of hot water. And, last but not least, it's cheap. I'd stay there again, but the place was already packed when I tried to make reservations for my stay in August.
