The route

From Watford (WD17, WD18, WD24, WD25) the natural line out is the M1 J5 and the M25 J19, joining A406 North Circular, then Bounds Green Road for the last part of the journey. That is about 16.8 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 40 min off-peak becomes 1h when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at Alexandra Palace

The Palm Court entrance on Alexandra Palace Way. The hill up to the Palace is steep and the internal roads run one-way on event nights, so pickup is at Palm Court rather than the car parks.

Address: Alexandra Palace Way, Wood Green, N22 7AY.

Pickups across Watford

We pick up anywhere in Watford and the surrounding Hertfordshire postcodes - WD17, WD18, WD24, WD25. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.

From Watford the M1 J5, M25 J19 route does most of the work, so the timing holds up even when the local roads are busy.

When to leave

Doors are usually an hour before the show starts. Allowing 1h for the drive from Watford plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from Alexandra Palace

Book both legs together and the driver is in position before the show ends. Getting out of Alexandra Palace is the part that costs people an hour; this is how you skip it. The return to Watford is the same £50.
