A taxi in SE10 booked with RushXO is a fixed-fare journey across Greenwich town, Maze Hill and North Greenwich: agreed before you travel, whether it's an O2 night or an early Gatwick run. We cover every SE10 street door to door, around the clock.
The neighbourhood
The shape of SE10
SE10 holds two very different Greenwiches. The historic one: the Cutty Sark, Greenwich Market, the Old Royal Naval College, and the climb through Greenwich Park to the Royal Observatory and the meridian — a World Heritage Site that fills with visitors every weekend. And the modern one: the Greenwich Peninsula and North Greenwich, where The O2 puts twenty thousand people on the same pavement several nights a week, with Maze Hill and East Greenwich between.
The road geography matters: the Blackwall Tunnel entrance sits inside SE10, making it one of the best south-of-river launch points for East London and City Airport, while the A2 runs off its southern edge toward the M25 and Gatwick. We pick up door to door across the whole district on a fare fixed before you travel.
Why locals book us
The journeys SE10 actually books
O2 nights, without the surge
When a show finishes at The O2, one Jubilee line station meets an arena's worth of people and app prices multiply within minutes. Pre-book and your price was locked before the lights went down. We agree a pickup on the Millennium Way or Edmund Halley Way side, clear of the crush.
The pedestrianised centre
Greenwich's tourist core is largely closed to cars — charming until you're at the market with bags or the Naval College with a pram. Our drivers use the agreed kerbs on Greenwich Church Street, Romney Road or King William Walk, confirmed with your booking, not improvised.
Airports both ways
City Airport is 15–25 minutes through the Blackwall Tunnel — remarkable for a south-of-river postcode. Southbound, the A2 puts Gatwick at 50–70 minutes without crossing central London. Both are fixed fares with live traffic routing and an hour's free waiting.
Airport transfers
Fixed-fare airport runs from SE10

Getting around
When ataxi beats the DLR in SE10
The DLR and the Jubilee line at North Greenwich serve SE10 well, but they don't solve the O2 post-show crush, they can't reach the pedestrianised market core, and they leave visitors with bags changing lines for the airport. Add the Blackwall Tunnel's direct line to City Airport and the A2's run to Gatwick, and a fixed-fare car is often the faster, calmer choice.
