From Sutton (SM1, SM2, SM3) the natural line out is the A217 and the A232, joining M25 J8/J9, then A24 and Epsom Downs for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 7.1 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 20 min off-peak becomes 35 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.
Pickups cover the whole of Sutton and the SM1, SM2, SM3 districts across South London. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.
Sutton pickups take in all of SM1, SM2, SM3. 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 35 min for the drive from Sutton plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

A saloon is from £40, an estate from £45, a 6-seat MPV from £55 and an 8-seat minibus from £70. The price is fixed when you book and covers the whole journey.
