Event & venue transfers
Peckham to London Stadium runs to roughly 7.4 miles and 25 min off-peak. We quote £50 and that is the number you pay, whatever the traffic does.
A taxi from Peckham to London Stadium is £50 in a saloon, £65 in a 6-seat MPV and £70 in an 8-seater. It is about 7.4 miles and 25 min off-peak, or 40 min in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.

| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £65 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £70 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
By rail you would go Peckham Rye (Southern, Thameslink and London Overground) across to Stratford (Central, Jubilee, Elizabeth and the DLR), then a 18-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the walk across the park is long and fully exposed to weather. Door to door by road is about 25 min, or 40 min when the roads are full, with no changes, no stairs and no queue at the barrier. If you are travelling light and early, the train usually wins on price. If you are in a group, carrying anything, or leaving after an event, the car wins on everything else.
From the SE15 streets the route runs via the A202 then the A2215, finishing on A12 Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach, then Warton Road. Roughly 7.4 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 25 min clear, 40 min loaded.
We cover the whole of Peckham - SE15 - including the streets where flagging something down is a matter of luck rather than timing.
Pudding Mill Lane is the quickest private hire pickup; the Stratford side jams solid after events. The Olympic Park bridges are pedestrian-only on event days, so pickup is on the Pudding Mill Lane side rather than Westfield. 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: Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, E20 2ST.
If you were thinking of driving yourself: London Stadium 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 match. Working back, that means leaving Peckham around 40 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.
£50 in a saloon, £65 in a 6-seat MPV and £70 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 25 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Peckham Rye to Stratford plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
Pudding Mill Lane is the quickest private hire pickup; the Stratford side jams solid after events. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
Card, bank transfer or a business account, before or after the journey. A VAT receipt is issued either way.
A 6-seat MPV is £65 and an 8-seater £70. 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.
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.
