I guess it's too late for the OP now, but the BBC has just reported that
many London stations will be shutting early, very early, like at 20:00, so
whilst you might be able to get to the show you might not get back

I find this totally ridiculous and as a paying communter frankly frustrating
and annoying

It's only a little bit of snow!

Left for work this morning and there was about 2cm at most. Victoria Line
from Blackhorse Road was packed, then when I got off at Highbury &
Islington, the FCC train was packed. I couldn't get on and 14 mins for the
next one, so squashed back onto the next Victoria Line train southbound.
Got off at Kings X, where I discovered there were delays on the Northern
Line due to "adverse weather conditions" Had wanted to avoid Kings X due to
the long walk to the Northern Line (should have stayed on to Euston, but as
the carriage was so tightly packed, I had to get off anyhow to let other
passengers off)
There was then no sign of any trains to Maze Hill from London Bridge at 9am.
No DLR at the moment from Bank. I just jumped on a train going to New Cross
and then got the 177 from there to Maze Hill. Even less snow in Greenwich

Was chucked out of work early at 4:15pm, so thought best to get the 188 to
North Greenwich. Was about 2cm of snow. Roads very wet, but largely clear
and by the time I got on the bus had stopped snowing. Bus took longer than
normal due to rightly cautious driving from all. At North Greenwich, I was
actually stunned TfL were doing something useful for once - due to bus
delays, any passengers getting buses to Stratford were being told they could
use their tickets on the Jubilee Line to Stratford. Judging by the last
snow incidence a couple of weeks ago, there probably few buses running from
Stratford as well. Was stuck in Leyton for 45 mins looking at a grounded
158 and 58 watching 2 packed 69's go by in the meantime.

Then plain sailing from North Greenwich to Green Park and then Green Park to
Blackhorse Road. At Blackhorse Road, was slightly surprised to see there
wasn't any more snow than there was this morning when I left and along
Forest Road it wasn't too bad a walk.

How much more would you like to pay to ensure that the infrastructure
can cope with these unusual [1] conditions?

[1] Longest cold snap for 30 years, or something, I read.

It's more to do with Kings Cross as a whole going to emergency timetable.
