The route

From Gillingham (ME7, ME8) the natural line out is the M2 J4 and the A2, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 32.0 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h off-peak becomes 1h 30m 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.
