Year-round concerts, comedy, sports at The O2. From £112 (saloon, up to 4 passengers), fixed fare from any Heathrow terminal to Peninsula Square. 45–70 minutes kerb to door depending on the hour, no surcharge for event-day traffic. The Tube alternative means a change at Canary Wharf — fine solo, a drag with cases. Pre-book your return and dodge the post-event taxi queues on the Peninsula.

Luggage-friendly pricing: unlike the Tube run, the car absorbs checked luggage (2–4 large cases) at no extra charge. Flying in for a show? Drop bags at your hotel on the way — tell us at booking and we route the stop in.
The O2 sits on the Greenwich Peninsula; its station is North Greenwich on the Jubilee line — not the DLR. The Tube is cheap and quick once you're on it; the catch is the change at Canary Wharf with luggage. The taxi is one seat, door to door. Here's how they compare.
| Mode | Time | Luggage | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-booked taxi | 45–70 min | 2–4 checked cases | £112 (fixed) | Luggage, late arrivals, groups — one seat |
| Tube: Elizabeth line → Canary Wharf, then Jubilee → North Greenwich | ~60–75 min door to door | Cabin bags only, stairs at both ends | Rail fare | Solo, one bag, no deadline |
| Tube: Piccadilly line → Green Park, then Jubilee → North Greenwich | ~75–90 min door to door | Cabin bags only | Rail fare | Budget solo runs when time is loose |

The change is the catch: there's no one-seat train — it's the Elizabeth line to Canary Wharf, then a walk between stations and one Jubilee stop to North Greenwich. Fine with a backpack; a drag with cases off a long-haul.
Post-event return: the Jubilee line clears a 20,000 crowd surprisingly fast if you're travelling light. With luggage, a late hotel or a group splitting the fare, the pre-booked fixed-price car is still the calmer exit.
If you're staying in London after the concert and want to rent a car, The O2 has extensive parking. If you're flying out the same evening, a pre-booked taxi return is simpler (no parking fee, no rental logistics).
Large on-site car parks — pre-book on event nights. Spaces sell out for the biggest shows, and the exit queue after a 20,000 crowd can take the better part of an hour. Arriving hours early? Park once and wait inside rather than circling the Peninsula.
Fly in via taxi (£112), drop bags at the hotel, do the show, taxi back — rent a car next day for London if you still want one. This avoids the post-event car-park queue and gives you a clear head for the rental decision; agencies cluster at Heathrow and in central London.
The scenic non-taxi option: Uber Boat by Thames Clippers calls at North Greenwich Pier, steps from The O2. Services run frequently through the day and evening — roughly 30–40 minutes from central piers. Post-show the pier queue builds, but it's a memorable exit if you're not chasing a flight.
From £112 (saloon, up to 4), £141 (MPV, up to 6) and £157 (8 seater, up to 7). Fixed fare includes luggage and flight tracking. 30% deposit, balance on the day; free cancellation 24 hours before.
45–70 minutes depending on terminal and the hour — central London or the M25/A2 loop decide it. No stadium-style closures on the Peninsula. The Tube alternative is an hour-plus with a change at Canary Wharf.
Taxi if you have luggage, are landing late, or travelling as a group. Tube if you're solo with a cabin bag and no deadline — Elizabeth line to Canary Wharf, then the Jubilee to North Greenwich. The change is the part people underestimate with cases.
Yes. Pre-book at outbound time; return pickup is set for 20–30 minutes after the show ends. Pre-booking saves 10% and means no surge on the post-event taxi queue outside The O2.
Yes. Concert crews, festival workers, tour groups: 3+ vehicles coordinated and priced as one package. Email or WhatsApp with group size and event date.
From £112, fixed, luggage-friendly, return pre-booked at the same time. Door to door — not a platform, a change and a walk.
