A taxi from Paddington Station to the InterContinental London – The O2 covers around 10 miles and takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic and the route through central London or the Blackwall Tunnel. BPC Cars offers a fixed fare from £ 53 for a standard saloon, door-to-door from the Paddington arrivals area to the hotel entrance beside The O2 — no changing trains or Tube lines with your luggage.
Whether you're arriving for a concert, an event at The O2, or a stay at the InterContinental, we get you there directly and on time.
The route runs east across London — typically via the A40/Marylebone Road and the Limehouse Link or the Blackwall Tunnel to North Greenwich, where The O2 and the InterContinental sit on the peninsula. On event nights the roads around The O2 get busy, so a pre-booked taxi with a fixed fare takes the stress out of arriving on time.

The O2 is one of London's busiest venues, and public transport there means the Jubilee Line to North Greenwich or a river service, often with a change and a walk. For a concert or event — especially at night, in a group, or dressed up — a taxi from Paddington to the O2 is far easier: door-to-door, no crowded platforms after the show, and a fixed fare agreed before you travel. Your driver drops you right at the InterContinental or The O2 entrance, and can collect you afterwards too.
Dropped at the InterContinental or The O2 entrance, not a station five minutes away.
Book the return at the same time and skip the post-event crush on the Jubilee Line.
For a group, one car often works out similar to separate fares — and far more comfortable.
Paddington is a major London terminus with National Rail, the Elizabeth line, the Heathrow Express and several Underground lines, so many visitors arrive here before heading to an event at The O2. Rather than working out the Tube with luggage, a direct taxi takes you straight across town. This transfer is part of our city taxi cab service across London, and for visitors flying in first we also handle London airport taxi transfers.
A saloon suits couples and small groups; MPVs and estates add space for luggage; and for a group heading to a concert together, an 8-seater taxi or a minibus airport transfer keeps everyone in one vehicle. For a premium arrival at the InterContinental, our executive taxi service is available.
Couples and small groups with standard luggage — the lowest fixed fare on this route.
