Drop off and pick up
To meet the increasing demand for private hire and to minimise congestion on the Greenwich Peninsula, a Private Hire drop off and pick up area is now available. This is aimed to provide a managed, safe and secure area for Private Hire in partnership with the Public Carriage Office. The drop off/pick up point for private hire vehicles is approximately 250m from the main entrance of The O2. Please download a leaflet for further information or click on the maps above.

Please note that any journey that isn't booked by phone or in a private hire office is illegal, dangerous and could put you at risk. Booking your private hire guarantees that your trip will be carried out by a licensed driver in a licensed vehicle. It also means that a record is kept of your journey, your driver and the vehicle used. The driver can then be traced in the event of any problems.
