The route

From Romford (RM1, RM2, RM3, RM7) the natural line out is the A12 and the A127, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 12.9 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 30 min off-peak becomes 50 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 Romford

Any address in Romford works, along with the wider RM1, RM2, RM3, RM7 area of East London. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.

We cover the whole of Romford - RM1, RM2, RM3, RM7 - 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 50 min for the drive from Romford plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from The O2 Arena

Book both legs together and the driver is in position before the gig ends. Getting out of The O2 Arena is the part that costs people an hour; this is how you skip it. The return to Romford is the same £45.
