From Orpington (BR5, BR6) the natural line out is the A21 and the A224, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. That is about 13.7 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 30 min off-peak becomes 55 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
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.
