The route

From Sheffield (S1, S2, S3) the natural line out is the M1 J33 and the A57, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 172.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 3h 30m off-peak becomes 4h 15m 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 on Millennium Way, a short walk from Entrance A. Long-distance arrivals are timed to land 90 minutes before doors so there is room for a comfort stop on the way.

Address: Peninsula Square, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0DX.

Pickups cover the whole of Sheffield and the S1, S2, S3 districts across South Yorkshire. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.

Sheffield sits on the M1 J33, A57 corridor, which is what makes this journey predictable rather than a gamble on the day.

When to leave

Doors are usually an hour before the gig starts. Allowing 4h 15m for the drive from Sheffield plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from The O2 Arena

Coming back to Sheffield costs the same £290. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.
