The route

From Sidcup (DA14, DA15) the natural line out is the A20 and the A222, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 10.1 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 25 min off-peak becomes 45 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 cover the whole of Sidcup and the DA14, DA15 districts across South East London. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.

We cover the whole of Sidcup - DA14, DA15 - 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 45 min for the drive from Sidcup plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from The O2 Arena

The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves The O2 Arena at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £45 back to Sidcup.
