Looks like this post may have been missed, although we are now 4 posts further on, so not sure if it matters or not?

We then take a 4 minute walk to board the Emirates Cable Car service (just before it closes at 23:00) to Emirates Royal Docks, arriving 22:45 (12 min ride). Plus, you get a nice view of nightime London :)

Edit - departing 22:33

Could I ask you include a depature time.

Anyway, if we stay in the same car (so also departing at 22:45) we should be able to make it back to Emirates Greenwich Peninsula, which given the 12 minutes should mean we arrive at 22:57. Not time for another ride now though!

Noting that the "quiz day of the week" is currently Wednesday evening, we take the four minutes walk to North Greenwich LU station and just have time to catch the 2302 LU Jubilee Line service to Stanmore LU station that arrives at 2352 on Wednesday evening.

Emerging from the tube station, we then board the 0000 Metroline service H12 to South Harrow (Bus Station), arriving there at 0035 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Quite rare to see a timetabled public transport service to depart at 0000; usually they depart at 2359 or 0001 to avoid confusion!
