The route

From Eltham (SE9) the natural line out is the A20 and the A205, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 7.1 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 25 min off-peak becomes 40 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 cover the whole of Eltham and the SE9 districts across South East London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.

We cover the whole of Eltham - SE9 - including the residential streets where a passing cab is a matter of luck rather than timing.

When to leave

Doors are usually an hour before the gig starts. Allowing 40 min for the drive from Eltham plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from The O2 Arena

Coming back to Eltham costs the same £40. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.
