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 Romford (the Elizabeth line) 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 30 min, or 50 min when the roads are full, but it is one journey rather than three, and nobody stands up for any of it. Two people with hand luggage should take the train. Three or more, or anyone with a case, and the fixed fare splits better than the tickets do.
From the RM1, RM3, RM11, RM14 streets the route runs via the A12 then the A127, finishing on A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way. That is about 13.2 miles. Reckon 30 min off-peak and 50 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
We cover the whole of Havering - RM1, RM3, RM11, RM14 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
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 Havering around 50 min 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.
£70 in a saloon, £90 in a 6-seat MPV and £100 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 30 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Romford 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.
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.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
A 6-seat MPV is £90 and an 8-seater £100. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
