The route

From Dartford (DA1, DA2, DA4) the natural line out is the A2 and the M25 J1a, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. That is about 11.4 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 24 min off-peak becomes 38 min 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, past the Tesco on Millennium Way - not the main Entrance A forecourt, which is coach and black-cab only. The Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels are free between 22:00 and 06:00, so a return leg after a late finish costs the same as the outbound.

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

Pickups across Dartford

We pick up anywhere in Dartford and the surrounding Kent postcodes - DA1, DA2, DA4. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.

Dartford sits on the A2, M25 J1a 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 38 min for the drive from Dartford plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from The O2 Arena

Coming back to Dartford costs the same £45. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.
