Worth knowing
Good to know about The Globe to London City.
Timing
The 8-mile run typically takes 20–30 min. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
At the The Globe end
The riverside is pedestrian; set-down on Park Street or Emerson Street puts you a two-minute walk from the gates.
Curtain-plus-ten
We track running times on the night, so the car is at the agreed point about ten minutes after the final encore — never gone, never early.
The Globe to London City Airport, planned properly
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. The riverside is pedestrian; set-down on Park Street or Emerson Street puts you a two-minute walk from the gates. At London City Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 8-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 20–30 min for the 8 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
