Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
On the network it is Ealing Broadway (the Elizabeth line, Central and District) to North Greenwich (the Jubilee line), plus a 5-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the Jubilee platforms are a crush for 40 minutes after a show empties. The taxi is about 40 min, or 1h 10m when the roads are full, but it is one journey rather than three, and nobody stands up for any of it. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.
Out of Ealing (W3, W5, W7, W13, NW10, UB1, UB2, UB5, UB6) the driver picks up the A40 then the A406 then the A4020, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the run-in. That is about 18.3 miles. Reckon 40 min off-peak and 1h 10m if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
Any address across Ealing works, W3, W5, W7, W13, NW10, UB1, UB2, UB5, UB6 included, at whatever hour the West London traffic is doing its worst.
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. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: Peninsula Square, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0DX.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: The O2 Arena sits inside a matchday or event-day controlled parking zone, on-site spaces are pre-book only and go early, and the residential streets around it are permit-holders only with active enforcement. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Doors are usually an hour before the gig. Working back, that means leaving Ealing around 1h 10m plus that hour on a busy night - and booking the return at the same time, because the road out is slower than the road in.
£95 in a saloon, £115 in a 6-seat MPV and £130 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 40 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Ealing Broadway to North Greenwich plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
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. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
A 6-seat MPV is £115 and an 8-seater £130. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
The driver waits. We watch venue finish times rather than working to a fixed clock, so a late curtain does not leave you stranded or cost you extra.
Yes, and it is the leg worth booking. The driver is in position before you come out instead of you joining the queue that forms the moment it ends.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
Fares are fixed at booking and shown per vehicle. Distances and journey times are approximate and vary with traffic and the exact pickup address. Page reviewed 25 September 2026.
