From Croydon (CR0, CR2, CR9) the natural line out is the A23 and the A232, joining M25 J8/J9, then A24 and Epsom Downs for the last part of the journey. That is about 11.5 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 30 min off-peak becomes 45 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
The Grandstand entrance or Tattenham Corner, depending on your enclosure. On Derby Day the Downs roads are closed and marshalled, so the meeting point is fixed at the Grandstand or Tattenham Corner.
Address: Epsom Downs, Epsom, KT18 5LQ.
We pick up anywhere in Croydon and the surrounding South London postcodes - CR0, CR2, CR9. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
Croydon pickups take in all of CR0, CR2, CR9. Controlled parking and one-way systems are the driver's problem, not yours - they will text the nearest legal stopping point.
Doors are usually an hour before the raceday starts. Allowing 45 min for the drive from Croydon plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Coming back to Croydon costs the same £45. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.
A saloon is from £45, an estate from £55, a 6-seat MPV from £65 and an 8-seat minibus from £85. The price is fixed when you book and covers the whole journey.
