After the Aftershow I'm staying at Excel on the 9th September and wanted an idea what was best - book a taxi to pick me and my mate up from the O2 or get clipper back?

Hello,
I stayed in the Custom House Hotel across the road from the Excel. The clipper goes in the other direction. Best bet is a taxi. We got one from the lady at the front door. It was £25. A lot for a short journey. We left the aftershow before a lot of people and most didn't even go in so you may have a bit more of a wait for a taxi. Our hotel gave us a number but didn't book one as he said they would charge doubel for the hotel booking? Don't know why though. Hope that helps | |

Did you book that in advance or grab it outside afterwards?  "I'm so funky I can't even sleep with myself"... Prince 9th September aftershow party | |

Yeah, they said that the taxi would charge from the hotel to the o2 and then back as the booking was made from the hotel. Sounds like a scam to me.
Also got a number for taxi firm Adison lee - 02073878888 Good luck | |

At the front entrance at the left hand side, on departure there is a little stand u can go 2 and book a local taxi, theyl book it in, tell u how much its gonna cost upfront, take the money from u and walk u 2 the taxi when it comes, have done it twice now but one night i wanted one 2 victoria and they told me they coulnt get one for me. | |

Using the taxi stand just inside the main entrance is working well - I did it twice this weekend. But find someone to share it with! Fixed prices, but cheaper than the ordinary ugly black cabs they said. Friday night we got a poor Ford with a driver who definately didn't know the art of driving - and he was even eating, drinking and speaking in his cellular at the same time.. Saturday night we got a huge Mercedes and a driver who knew how to drive. £44 to Piccadilly by the way.. | |
