Professional chauffeured taxi service across the Royal Borough of Greenwich — Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory and the Old Royal Naval College on the historic riverside, the O2 Arena on the peninsula, and Woolwich to the east. Greenwich is one of the closer boroughs to London City Airport, and RushXO's fixed fares cover that run plus every station and event venue in between. No surge, no meter, no surcharges. DBS-checked drivers. TfL licensed operator, Licence 11588.
About Greenwich
The Royal Borough of Greenwich holds one of London's most concentrated stretches of UNESCO World Heritage history — the Old Royal Naval College, the Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian Line, all within a short walk of each other on the riverside. A few minutes further, the Greenwich Peninsula holds the O2 Arena, one of the world's busiest music venues, while Woolwich to the east anchors the borough's other side with its own Royal Arsenal heritage.
Sitting on the river's south bank across from the Docklands gives Greenwich a genuine edge: London City Airport is a short, direct run via the A102 and Blackwall Tunnel approach, one of the shorter airport transfers available anywhere in London. RushXO runs a dedicated Greenwich rota; our drivers know the market-day traffic around Cutty Sark, the O2's event road closures, and the fastest ways to the airport.
