Late Night O2 Arena Taxi
— Home After the Encore.
When the headline act finishes near midnight, 20,000 people head for the Jubilee line at once and the apps surge hardest. With Rushxo your car is pre-arranged and waiting at the designated pickup point — a fixed fare, no night surcharge, no North Greenwich platform crush. 24/7 from The O2 to anywhere in London and beyond.
When the Encore Ends Late & the Tube Queues
Concerts at The O2 often finish near midnight, and 20,000 people make for North Greenwich at the same moment. The Jubilee line runs a night service only on Fridays and Saturdays, the Thames Clipper and cable car stop in the evening, and rideshare prices spike hardest in exactly that window. A pre-booked car sidesteps all of it — arranged in advance and waiting when the lights come up.
Cars for the Ride Home
Two after a gig or a minibus for the whole group after a show — every vehicle is TfL-licensed and available through the night. Fares fixed at booking.
Saloon
Comfortable executive saloon — the easy, safe ride home for couples and pairs.
Executive
Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series with a suited chauffeur after a hospitality night.
People Carrier
Spacious MPV for six — far better value than two cars, and the group stays together.
8-Seater Minibus
The group favourite — seven friends home in one vehicle, no splitting up at midnight.
9-Seater Minibus
Full-capacity minibus for a big group or a corporate box party heading home.
Fares shown as "from" for a typical inner-London journey (incl. London surcharge); the airports are higher. Your exact fixed price is confirmed instantly at booking and never changes — day or night.
One Fixed Fare.
No Night Surcharge, Ever.
The minute a headline act walks off, 20,000 people reach for their phones at once — and rideshare prices at North Greenwich spike exactly when you want to leave. With Rushxo, the price confirmed when you book is the exact total you pay, whether the encore ends at 10pm or midnight. No surge, no late-night premium, no fare that climbs while the crowd does.
Your car and driver are arranged in advance and waiting at the designated pickup point — a known registration and a vetted, TfL-licensed driver, not a stranger summoned into a scrum of thousands. It is the calmer, safer way home after a late one. New to the venue? Our guide to getting to and from The O2 compares every option, and the main O2 Arena transfers page covers daytime events too.
Your driver is waiting when the lights come up
No queue for the Jubilee line, no surge-priced app at midnight, no scramble for a cab. Pre-booked, pre-arranged, one fixed fare — the after-show, sorted before you even arrive.

Exactly Where We Meet You at The O2
The hardest part of a late finish is finding your ride in the dark with thousands of others. Here is how we handle every part of it at The O2 (SE10 0DX).
Where we drop you
On the way in, we set down at the Peninsula Square set-down, as close to the entrance as the event traffic plan allows — the shortest walk to the doors that the stewards permit.
Where we collect you
Afterwards we use a designated pickup point just off the main exit, away from the Jubilee-line crush at North Greenwich. We text you the exact meeting point, plus your driver's name, car and registration, before you head out — so you walk straight to the car.
No parking to book
The O2's car parks must be pre-booked and sell out for big shows, with valet at a premium. With Rushxo there is nothing to pre-book, pay for or walk back to in the dark — the car is your parking.
Accessible drop-off
Where available we use the accessible / Blue Badge set-down and keep the walk as short as possible — just tell us your needs at booking.
Event road closures
On big nights the Greenwich Peninsula runs one-way systems and stewarded set-down zones on event nights. Our drivers know the marshalled routes and the realistic meeting points, so there is no circling and no confusion.
Room for groups & kit
Minibuses are set down at the permitted coach and large-vehicle area on the peninsula, with room for the whole party, bags and merch — everyone leaves together in one vehicle.
A Driverless Car Can't Do a Late-Night Event Pickup
Self-driving cars are coming, and one day they will handle the quiet airport run. But the chaos outside The O2 when the show ends is exactly what they cannot yet manage. A driverless car can't negotiate with the marshals working the road closures, can't hold the agreed set-down while you make your way out through the crowd, and can't improvise a new meeting point when the official one is mobbed. It can't load a wheelchair, lift a buggy or stack a group's bags — and it certainly can't recognise you waving in the dark.
A vetted, TfL-licensed human chauffeur does all of it: knows the venue, watches your event's actual finish time, waits when the encore overruns, and meets you at a spot you can both agree on. The fare is fixed either way — but only the human gets you home calmly on the worst night for traffic of the week.
A real driver, allocated in advance — not an algorithm in a scrum
Known name, known registration, sent to a known pickup point. The reassuring, sorted way home after a late one.
The Late-Night Problems a Fixed Transfer Solves
Last tube risk
The Jubilee night tube runs only Fri and Sat, and late finishes can run past the last trains. A pre-booked car means you are never stranded after midnight.
Boat & cable car stop
The Thames Clipper and the cable car wind down in the evening. Your car runs door-to-door whatever the hour.
Midnight surge pricing
Apps surge hardest the moment 20,000 people leave at once. Your Rushxo fare is fixed at booking and never moves.
A safer way home
A vetted, TfL-licensed driver and a car with a known registration, sent in advance — reassuring for lone travellers and late nights.
Keep the group together
One minibus carries the whole party home at one fixed fare — no splitting up to find separate cars at midnight.
Waiting when you exit
Your driver is allocated at booking and at the designated pickup point — there when you walk out, not 25 minutes away.
