Charlton to The O2 Arena Taxi Price & Charges
The O2 Arena is on your doorstep in Charlton - a short hop rather than a journey, which is exactly why a pre-booked car beats hunting for one on the night. We pick up anywhere across SE7 for a fixed £50, and the driver waits at the agreed spot instead of you queuing at a rank. Allow about 20 min door to door when the gig traffic is at its worst.
A pre-booked taxi from Charlton to The O2 Arena costs from £50 for up to 4 passengers and takes about 15 min off-peak. The price is fixed before you travel and includes tolls, waiting time and luggage.

The route
From most of Charlton the approach is A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way, and it is the last few hundred metres that cost the time, not the miles. 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. On a clear evening you are there in minutes; around the gig allow 20 min and let the driver pick the way in.
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 Charlton
We pick up anywhere in Charlton and the surrounding South East London postcodes - SE7. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
We cover the whole of Charlton - SE7 - including the residential streets where a passing cab is a matter of luck rather than timing.
When to leave
Doors are usually an hour before the gig starts. Allowing 20 min for the drive from Charlton plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Getting back from The O2 Arena
Coming back to Charlton costs the same £50. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.

EES 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.
