Events & Venues
The run from Sidcup to The O2 Arena covers about 10.1 miles and is quoted as a fixed price from £45. Reckon on 25 min when the roads are clear and up to 45 min at busy times. Drivers come in via A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way, reaching The O2 Arena from the south-east. The price is agreed when you book, so it does not move with the meter, the traffic or the time of night.
A pre-booked taxi from Sidcup to The O2 Arena costs from £45 for up to 4 passengers and takes about 25 min off-peak, covering roughly 10.1 miles. The price is fixed before you travel and includes tolls, waiting time and luggage.

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.
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.
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.
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.
A saloon is from £45, an estate from £55, a 6-seat MPV from £65 and an 8-seat minibus from £85. The price is fixed when you book and covers the charges listed above.
