Taxi or train from Newham?

The public-transport version starts at Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth and the DLR) and finishes at North Greenwich (the Jubilee line), with 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. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 15 min, or 30 min when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. 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.

The route

The usual line from Newham is the A13 then the A12, then A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way at the end. That is about 6 miles. Reckon 15 min off-peak and 30 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.

Any address across Newham works, E6, E7, E13, E15, E16 included, at whatever hour the East London traffic is doing its worst.

Where the driver waits 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. 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.

Parking at The O2 Arena

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. Being dropped at the door and collected at an agreed point removes the whole problem.

When to leave Newham

Doors are usually an hour before the gig. Working back, that means leaving Newham around 30 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.

What the fare includes

Newham to The O2 Arena: common questions

How much is a taxi from Newham to The O2 Arena?

£63 in a saloon, £81 in a 6-seat MPV and £172 in a V Class. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.

Is it quicker than public transport from Newham?

Door to door the car is about 15 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Stratford to North Greenwich plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.

Where does the driver wait 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. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.

Can I book the return from The O2 Arena as well?

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.

How do I pay?

Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.

Do you carry groups from Newham?

A 6-seat MPV is £81 and a V Class £172. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.

What if the gig overruns?

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.
