Greenwich Taxi Service — Local Cabs for SE10, Maritime Area & O2
Reliable Greenwich taxi service with fixed fares from £6 for short town-centre hops (typically 5–7 minutes). We cover all SE10 — from the Cutty Sark and Royal Observatory to the O2 Arena and Greenwich Peninsula — with no meter, no surge and 24/7 availability.
Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site centred on the maritime quarter, plus the Royal Observatory (Prime Meridian and GMT) and the modern entertainment hub at the O2 Arena. Because SE10 combines a large resident population with heavy tourist and event demand, fixed fares and pre-booking give predictable prices and punctual service — at any hour.

Our Greenwich Taxi Service — Local Cabs Across SE10
Fixed-fare service across all SE10 and the SE3 Blackheath border. Fixed fares start from £6 for short town-centre rides (5–7 minutes); fares are confirmed at booking, so no meter and no surge applies — even on O2 event nights.
Every journey type is covered: quick station runs, tourist transfers, school trips, O2 Arena event pickups and late-night journeys. Whether it is a three-minute hop from Cutty Sark to Greenwich station or a longer trip from Maze Hill to Blackheath — the fare you see at booking is the fare you pay.
Greenwich Areas We Cover — Town Centre, Maze Hill & North Greenwich
Door-to-door pickups across every SE10 street and the SE3 Blackheath border. Three distinct sub-areas — each with its own character, station options and operational notes.
Greenwich Town Centre & Royal Observatory
The maritime quarter anchored by Greenwich station (DLR & National Rail), Cutty Sark DLR and Greenwich Market. The Royal Observatory sits above Greenwich Park.
Driving times: 6–10 minutes from town centre depending on event traffic. We confirm pickup points in advance when roads are pedestrianised.
Maze Hill & East Greenwich
Largely residential with frequent station runs to London Bridge and Cannon Street. Typical rides within these areas take 7–12 minutes.
Specialist runs: school runs, hospital appointments and short local journeys with confirmed fixed fares at booking.
North Greenwich, Peninsula & the O2
The Peninsula connects to central London via the Jubilee Line (~12 mins to London Bridge). Road access uses the A102/Blackwall Tunnel approach.
Drive times to O2: 10–18 minutes from town centre. Pre-booked meeting points outside busy station zones for hotels and event pickups.
O2 Arena Event Transfers — Concerts, Shows & Sports
Pre-booked O2 Arena transfers from SE10, SE3 and central London. Book 24–48 hours ahead to lock a fixed fare (typical post-event short ride from Greenwich town centre from £12); on-the-night walk-up waits can extend by 15–40 minutes.
Event Night Pickup
Peninsula Square — Pre-Booked Meeting Point
On event nights our drivers wait at the confirmed pickup point near Peninsula Square, outside the busiest station exit. You receive the exact meeting point by SMS with your booking confirmation. Because large events generate thousands of simultaneous departures, walk-up taxi availability around the O2 often disappears within minutes of a show ending. Pre-booked pickups avoid long queues and give priority dispatch.
tips_and_updatesTip 1 — Book 24–48 hrs ahead
Round-trip booking secures both legs at the same fixed guaranteed price.
trafficTip 2 — Allow 15–40 min buffer
Post-show traffic delays around the Peninsula can add 15–40 minutes if you have onward travel.
smsTip 3 — Use the SMS meeting point
We send driver name, vehicle reg and SMS meeting point before the day — meet at the confirmed spot to speed pickup.
Tourist & Cruise Transfers — Cutty Sark, Maritime Museum & Greenwich Pier
Fixed fares (from £7 for very short hops) for the World Heritage maritime quarter. Cruise terminal transfers (Tilbury, Southampton) are quoted as long-distance pre-booked journeys.
| Origin | Destination | Fixed Fare From | Journey Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greenwich station | Cutty Sark | £7 | 4–6 mins |
| Cutty Sark | Royal Observatory (Greenwich Park) | £8 | 6–10 mins |
