The route

From Birmingham (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5) the natural line out is the M6 and the M42 and the M40, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 126.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 40m off-peak becomes 3h 15m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at The O2 Arena

Private hire pickup is next to Car Park 3 on Millennium Way, a short walk from Entrance A. Long-distance arrivals are timed to land 90 minutes before doors so there is room for a comfort stop on the way.

Address: Peninsula Square, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0DX.

Pickups across Birmingham

Any address in Birmingham works, along with the wider B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 area of West Midlands. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.

Birmingham sits on the M6, M42, M40 corridor, which is what makes this journey predictable rather than a gamble on the day.

When to leave

Doors are usually an hour before the gig starts. Allowing 3h 15m for the drive from Birmingham plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from The O2 Arena

Coming back to Birmingham costs the same £215. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.
