Event & venue transfers
Fixed at £115 from Uxbridge to The O2 Arena, about 27.2 miles and 55 min on a clear road. The price is locked when you book, not when you travel.
A taxi from Uxbridge to The O2 Arena is £115 in a saloon, £145 in a 6-seat MPV and £165 in an 8-seater. It is about 27.2 miles and 55 min off-peak, or 1h 25m in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fixed fare |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases | from £115 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £145 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £165 |
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 Uxbridge (the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines) across to North Greenwich (the Jubilee line), then 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 55 min, or 1h 25m 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.
Out of Uxbridge (UB8, UB9, UB10) the driver picks up the A40 then the A4020 then the A408, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the run-in. Roughly 27.2 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 55 min clear, 1h 25m loaded.
Any address across Uxbridge works, UB8, UB9, UB10 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 Uxbridge around 1h 25m 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.
£115 in a saloon, £145 in a 6-seat MPV and £165 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 55 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Uxbridge 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 £145 and an 8-seater £165. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
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.
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.
