03 / AIRPORTSAirport transfer times to InterContinental London - The O2

The hotel is reachable from every London airport, but the journeys — and how stressful they are with bags — vary a lot. The board below gives realistic door-to-door driving times for a pre-booked private hire car. Treat them as a planning guide; London traffic has opinions of its own.

From London City

London City is the most relevant airport for this hotel. A direct London City airport transfer by car takes you door to door in around 20–35 minutes depending on traffic — no platform changes, with a driver meeting you in arrivals after baggage reclaim.

From the other airports

Rail routes from Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton all involve at least one change and a final leg across town to Greenwich Peninsula & The O2. A door-to-door transfer keeps it to one vehicle, one driver and one fixed price — which tends to matter most when you're tired or travelling as a group.

• You're landing very early or very late, when changes and waits feel longer.
