The two dates on everyone's mind right now — book the return leg before the queue for one starts.
Journey times below are door to door on an event evening, allowing for the A2, the A102 and the approach to the peninsula. Distances are approximate. Every fare is quoted on your exact postcode, party size and timings, so send us those and you will have a price back quickly.

Not on the list? We cover the whole of Kent and most of the South East, plus hotel and airport pick-ups for anyone travelling in for a show. Ask and we will price it.
The peninsula is a controlled site on event nights, and the difference between a good pick-up and forty minutes on a kerb is knowing which street to use. This is how we work it.
The closest legal set-down to the main entrance. A 2–3 minute walk to the doors. Busiest between 60 and 20 minutes before showtime, and marshalled on big nights.
Our usual pick-up after a show. One street back from the square, out of the pedestrian surge, and it clears far faster than the front.
Fallback when the square is closed to traffic for a stadium-scale event. Slightly longer walk, much shorter wait.
Large vehicles use the designated coach area rather than the car drop-off. We confirm the exact point with your driver on the day.
Twenty thousand people leave the arena inside about fifteen minutes, and most of them walk the same way. We do not ask you to fight through that. Your driver texts the meeting point while the last song is still going, waits at Edmund Halley Way, and holds position until you are in the car. If your group splits up, we wait for the stragglers rather than charging you for a second run.
Traffic out of Greenwich Peninsula funnels towards the A102 and the Blackwall Tunnel, with the Silvertown Tunnel as the alternative crossing. Both carry road user charges, and the Dartford Crossing has its own charge on the way back into Kent. We confirm which of these apply to your route and whether they are included in your quote before you book, so nothing appears afterwards.
The venue is really several venues. A Saturday fight night, a Tuesday comedy show and a December arena tour all finish differently, and the return leg gets planned around the event rather than the ticket.
The main room seats around 20,000. Doors typically 6:30–7pm, headline sets finish 10:30–11:15pm.
Undercards start early and main events run late. We build the return around the walk-on time, not the ticket time.
Tighter finishes, faster exits. Often the easiest night of the year to get away from the peninsula.
Extended road closures and accreditation zones. We plan drop-offs further out and walk you in.
Daytime and early-evening tip-offs, so your return usually beats the worst of the traffic.
Smaller 2,800-capacity room, same entrance plaza, same drop-off and pick-up points.
Daytime climbs, shopping and dining trips. Fixed-fare return whenever you finish.
Dinner and a film on the peninsula with a car booked for the way home.
Seat counts are the real, usable ones. If you are unsure, tell us the head count and we will put you in the right vehicle rather than the most expensive one.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | 1–4 | 2 cases | Couples and pairs. Standard for a night at the arena. |
| Estate | 1–4 | 3–4 cases | Same comfort, more boot. Good after the merch stand. |
| MPV | 1–6 | 4 cases | Six friends, one fare, one pick-up point. |
| 8-seater | 1–8 | 8 soft bags | The most-booked vehicle for O2 nights. |
| 16-seat minibus | 9–16 | 16 soft bags | Birthdays, work nights out, fight nights. |
| 24-seat midi coach | 17–24 | Hold luggage | Clubs, societies and corporate boxes. |
| 49-seat coach | 25–49 | Hold luggage | Full coach hire with a driver for the night. |
Book online, call, or WhatsApp. Ticket time helps — we work the pick-up backwards from doors rather than guessing.
A price that does not move, a departure time that accounts for the A2 and the tunnel approach, and your drop-off point confirmed.
Ten minutes before your slot, in the right vehicle, contactable directly. No app-hunting, no surge for leaving with everyone else.
Encores and delayed main events are built in. The driver waits and the meeting point goes to your phone.
The things people ask most often before booking a car to Greenwich Peninsula.
Yes. Cars and minibuses set down at Peninsula Square, roughly a two to three minute walk from the main entrance. On the busiest nights the square is marshalled and traffic is directed to Edmund Halley Way or Millennium Way instead. Your driver will tell you which one applies before you set off, and we send the exact meeting point by text or WhatsApp.
By default, Edmund Halley Way. It sits one street back from Peninsula Square, so you avoid the pedestrian crush at the front and the car gets out of the peninsula far quicker. If you would rather be collected somewhere specific, tell us when you book and we will agree it in advance.
The driver waits. Encores, delayed main events and slow arena exits are normal on event nights, and they are built into how we price the job. We track the event and the driver stays in contact with you, so nobody is standing on a kerb wondering where the car is.
Yes. You get a fixed price when you book, based on the postcode, the vehicle and the timings. It does not change because of traffic, a longer route out of the peninsula, or the show finishing late. No meter, no surge pricing on event nights.
We tell you up front. Road charges for the Dartford Crossing and the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels change from time to time, so we confirm whether they apply to your route and whether they are included in your quote before you commit. Nothing gets added afterwards.
For a 6:30pm doors time we usually leave Gravesend and Dartford by 4:45pm, and Medway or Maidstone by 4:15pm. That covers the A2 and A102 at their worst and still gets you to the plaza with time for security, bag checks and a drink. If you tell us your ticket time we will work the pick-up backwards from it.
Yes. We run 16-seat minibuses, 24-seat midi coaches and 49-seat coaches, and we can send more than one vehicle on the same booking with a single point of contact and one invoice. Group bookings for arena nights are worth placing early, particularly for fight nights and December dates.
Either. Plenty of people book the outbound only and make their own way back, or book the return only after a train in. Return bookings are the ones worth locking in early, because that is the leg that is hardest to arrange on the night.
Yes, with notice. Tell us the ages and we will fit the right seat at no extra cost. Please ask when you book rather than on the day, so the right vehicle is allocated.
Tell us what you need when you book and we will confirm what we can provide for your date, including a vehicle with step-free access where available. The O2 has its own accessible drop-off arrangements and we will use them.
Let us know as soon as you do and we will move the booking to the rescheduled date or cancel it without a fee, subject to our normal notice period. We are not going to charge you for an artist pulling out.
Card, bank transfer or on account for business bookings. Corporate customers can book on account with a single monthly invoice, and we can supply a VAT receipt for expenses.
Same fixed fares, same late-night returns, different postcode.
"Genuinely the smartest way to handle late-night event transfers in London" — one reviewer pre-booked a return car after a sold-out night at The O2, and was home in comfort while everyone else queued for a black cab. They'd already rebooked for the next show.
