From Gravesend (DA11, DA12, DA13) the natural line out is the A2 and the A226, joining A13 then Connaught Road and Hartmann Road for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 19.6 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 40 min off-peak becomes 1h when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
The forecourt pickup on Hartmann Road, a few steps from arrivals. City is small enough that arrivals to kerb takes minutes, so a booked car is usually waiting before you are through.
Address: Hartmann Road, Royal Docks, E16 2PX.
Any address in Gravesend works, along with the wider DA11, DA12, DA13 area of Kent. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
We cover Gravesend and the villages around it across DA11, DA12, DA13, with the A2, A226 as the main way out.
