The route
From Chatham (ME4, ME5) the natural line out is the M2 J3 and the A2, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 29 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h off-peak becomes 1h 25m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at The O2 Arena
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.
Address: Peninsula Square, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0DX.
Pickups across Chatham
We pick up anywhere in Chatham and the surrounding Kent (Medway) postcodes - ME4, ME5. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
From Chatham the M2 J3, A2 route does most of the work, so the timing holds up even when the local roads are busy.
When to leave
Doors are usually an hour before the gig starts. Allowing 1h 25m for the drive from Chatham plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Getting back from The O2 Arena
The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves The O2 Arena at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £62 back to Chatham.

Chatham to Wembley StadiumEES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
