The route
From Upminster (RM14) the natural line out is the A127 and the M25 J29, joining A12 Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach, then Warton Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 20 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 35 min off-peak becomes 1h when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at London Stadium
Pudding Mill Lane is the quickest private hire pickup; the Stratford side jams solid after events. The Olympic Park bridges are pedestrian-only on event days, so pickup is on the Pudding Mill Lane side rather than Westfield.
Address: Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, E20 2ST.
Pickups across Upminster
We pick up anywhere in Upminster and the surrounding East London postcodes - RM14. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
Pickups run across Upminster and the RM14 streets around it, at whatever hour you need; there is no minimum and no hidden extras.
When to leave
Doors are usually an hour before the match starts. Allowing 1h for the drive from Upminster plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Getting back from London Stadium
Coming back to Upminster costs the same £55. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.

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.
