The O2 Arena Airport Taxi
Onward Travel Solutions runs fixed-price taxi transfers between every major London airport and The O2 Arena, so getting to your event starts with a confirmed price and a driver who knows exactly where to drop you.
The O2 Arena in Greenwich, South East London is one of the busiest live entertainment venues in the UK, hosting concerts, comedy shows and major sporting events year-round, making it one of the more common venue-specific journeys we’re asked to cover.
Journey Times From Each Airport
Distance and journey time to The O2 Arena vary depending on which airport you’re flying into. As a guide:
- Gatwick Airport: approximately 35 miles, around 60 minutes
- Stansted Airport: approximately 45 miles, around 70 minutes
- Luton Airport: approximately 40 miles, around 65 minutes
- Heathrow Airport: approximately 25 miles, around 50 minutes
These are estimates outside peak traffic — we build extra time into every pickup, particularly on event days when local roads around Greenwich, South East London are busier than usual.
One Fixed Price, Whichever Airport
Your fare to The O2 Arena is agreed before you travel and confirmed by email, regardless of which of the four airports you’re arriving at. The price covers the driver, the vehicle, standard luggage, and any tolls on the route.
Timing Around Events
Tell us your event start time, kick-off, or show time when you book, and we’ll work backwards to a pickup time that accounts for local road closures, event-day traffic and parking restrictions around Greenwich, South East London — not just the standard journey time.
Flight Tracking for Arriving Visitors
If you’re flying in for an event at The O2 Arena, we track your flight and adjust your pickup time automatically if it’s early or delayed, so a delayed arrival doesn’t mean missing the start of what you came for.
Getting Back to the Airport After Your Event
We also cover the return leg from The O2 Arena once your event finishes, which matters on nights when public transport is heavily congested with everyone leaving at once. Book both legs together to lock in your return pickup time in advance.
Group and Corporate Bookings
The O2 Arena regularly hosts groups — sports teams, corporate hospitality parties, conference delegations — and we offer minibus and MPV options for these bookings at a fixed group rate, alongside standard saloon transfers for individuals and couples.
International Visitors
A large share of the traffic to The O2 Arena comes from overseas visitors flying in specifically for an event, often with limited familiarity with London’s transport network. A pre-booked taxi removes the need to navigate public transport with luggage in an unfamiliar city.
Vehicles for Every Group Size
A standard saloon suits solo travellers or couples, while estate cars and minibuses are available for larger groups heading to The O2 Arena together, all at a fixed price agreed before you travel.
Payment and Confirmation
You can pay online at the time of booking or settle with your driver directly, and every booking is confirmed by email with your fare, pickup time and driver details attached. If your flight or event timing changes, contact us and we’ll update the booking at no extra cost.
Booking Ahead for Major Events
For high-demand events at The O2 Arena — major concerts, cup finals, international fixtures — we recommend booking your transfer as early as possible, since vehicle availability tightens considerably around the busiest dates.
