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.
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.
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.
