Greenwich Minicabs cover the SE10 postcode around Greenwich Park, the Cutty Sark and the market, as well as the flats and terraces further out towards Blackheath. Being south of the river with the Blackwall Tunnel close by shapes every route we plan, so our drivers build the tunnel's traffic patterns into the pickup time rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Heathrow is a genuine cross-city run from Greenwich — there's no way around that — so we quote 70 to 85 minutes off-peak via the Blackwall Tunnel, the A102 and A2, then the South Circular or M25 depending on which is running better that day. Because the journey is long, we always build in a buffer for the Blackwall Tunnel specifically, since a single incident there can add 30 minutes with no real alternative route.
Gatwick is more manageable, typically 45 to 55 minutes via the A2 and the M25, avoiding the tunnel entirely by heading south-east first. This is usually the more reliable of the two major airport runs from Greenwich, particularly for early departures before the M25 fills up.
London City Airport is the standout option from Greenwich — it's a short, direct hop of around 15 to 20 minutes via the A102 and Woolwich Road, making it the airport of choice for a quick business trip. Stansted and Luton both mean crossing the river and much of London, so we treat those as flight-tracked, fixed-price bookings rather than estimating a tight window. Either route usually adds an extra 20 to 30 minutes compared with the Gatwick run.
Every quote accounts for the tunnel toll and is fixed at the point of booking, whether you're picked up near the park, the market, or one of the newer developments toward the peninsula.
On arrivals, we track your flight and adjust for delays automatically, meeting you inside the terminal rather than asking you to find the car in a busy short-stay car park. This matters more on the longer Heathrow run, where a missed pickup window costs more time to correct than it would on a short local journey.
We run saloons, estates and MPVs, with the larger vehicles popular with visitors heading to the Cutty Sark or the Old Royal Naval College who are travelling with extra luggage or pushchairs.
It's worth booking us specifically because of the Blackwall Tunnel — a driver who treats it as routine rather than a surprise is the difference between making your flight comfortably and cutting it fine.
