From Clapham (SW4, SW11) the natural line out is the A3 and the A24, joining M25 J8/J9, then A24 and Epsom Downs for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 15.9 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 35 min off-peak becomes 1h when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
