Top Uber destinations in London: Where PCO drivers can earn the most

Knowing the best areas to work can make all the difference for PCO drivers looking to maximise their earnings.

Whether you're starting your day or covering quieter hours, here’s a list of London’s busiest Uber destinations for 2025 to help you stay ahead.

1. Heathrow Airport 

As London’s largest airport, Heathrow remains a 24/7 hotspot for Uber rides.

With many locals avoiding expensive parking and tourists preferring the convenience of a direct ride, demand here is consistent. Before heading to Heathrow, make sure you’re familiar with the rules and fees for pick-ups and drop-offs to avoid penalties.

Location: London Borough of Hillingdon, Longford TW6

2. London City Airport

Strategically located between the City of London and Canary Wharf, London City Airport serves business travelers and professionals. This area is ideal for higher-paying Uber Exec or Uber Lux rides.

Location: Royal Docks, Hartmann Rd, London E16 2PX

There are three other major airports near London, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted. Since they’re all located at least 30 miles from Greater London, take the trip if you get a chance — the longer the distance, the bigger the profit. 

3. King Cross and St Pancras 

These railway stations, situated side by side, are London’s most famous stations thanks to associating King Cross with Harry Potter.

You’ll most likely take two kinds of people to this Uber destination — the ones interrailing through Europe wanting to catch the Eurostar from St Pancras to get to Paris, and the Harry Potter fans who want to visit the popular 9 ¾ quarters platform.

Handy Tip: As many people think King Cross and St Pancras are different names for the same stations, give a helping hand to your passengers and ask them to double-check the station their train is leaving from. 

Location: Euston Road, Camden, N1C 4BU

4. Victoria Station 

Victoria Station is a hub for locals and tourists alike, offering connections to Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and theatre shows like Wicked.

This is, as expected, one of London’s busiest areas, so make sure to know your shortcuts well enough or to use Waze to avoid congestions.

Location: Belgravia, City of Westminster, SW1E 5ND

5. Waterloo Station 

This is a Uber destination where you’ll take many hurried passengers with big luggage, as it’s UK’s busiest railway station by passenger usage, handling around 41 million passengers annually. It’s also the UK’s largest station in terms of floor space and number of platforms and mainly serves trains heading to the South and West of the UK.

As it’s constantly crowded, you're very likely to take another client right after you’ve dropped off one. Located right behind the London Eye, expect some tourist passengers as well. 

Location: Lambeth, Waterloo Rd, SE1 8SW

6. Liverpool Street 

With its proximity to the financial district and Shoreditch, Liverpool Street attracts business professionals and tourists. This area is a great spot for Uber Comfort, Exec, or even Lux rides.

You’ll get passengers heading to business meetings, corporate employees rushing to the office or businesspeople going for lunch at the famous high-altitude restaurant, Sky Garden. 

Location: Bishopsgate, Liverpool St, EC2M 7PY

7. Paddington 

Another famous railway terminus and London Underground station, Paddington, is also associated with the Paddington bear, a renowned character in children’s literature named after this station.

The surrounding area is mainly residential, so expect more locals than tourists as passengers. It’s also an important station for commuters and regional passengers. 

Location: Praed St, W2

8. Harrods 

Harrods Limited is an iconic London shopping destination, loved by both tourists and locals. As the UK’s largest and most exclusive department store, it boasts 330 departments offering everything from luxury fashion and jewellery to gourmet gifts and electronics.

Drawing up to 300,000 visitors on peak days, Harrods becomes especially magical during the Winter Holidays with its famous Seasonal Christmas department, making every visit a memorable experience.

Location: 87-135 Brompton Rd, SW1X 7XL

9. Selfridges on Oxford Street 

The other popular option for shopping in London is Selfridges' flagship store on Oxford Street. Selfridge is a chain of high-end department stores, and the flagship store is the second largest store in the UK after Harrods. This was Uber’s most popular destination in 2021, conveniently located on Oxford Street, London’s top spot for high-end shopping.

If you’re picking someone up from Harrods or Selfridges. Be prepared to give them a hand with their shopping bags and ensure you have enough storage space.

Location: 400 Oxford St, W1A 1AB

10. Soho 

Going to Soho is a wise choice if you’re a night owl and prefer working before dawn. This is one of London’s entertainment districts, with many nightclubs, theatres, restaurants and people on the street 24/7. Soho is also the place of Chinatown, a popular spot in London for its Asian food and quirky decor. 

Location: City of Westminster, West End of London
