The route

From Wimbledon (SW19, SW20) the natural line out is the A219 and the A3, joining M25 J8/J9, then A24 and Epsom Downs for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 11.4 miles. 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.

Where we meet you at Epsom Downs Racecourse

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 across Wimbledon

Pickups cover the whole of Wimbledon and the SW19, SW20 districts across South West London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.

Wimbledon pickups take in all of SW19, SW20. Controlled parking and one-way systems are the driver's problem, not yours - they will text the nearest legal stopping point.

When to leave

Doors are usually an hour before the raceday starts. Allowing 45 min for the drive from Wimbledon plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from Epsom Downs Racecourse

The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves Epsom Downs Racecourse at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £45 back to Wimbledon.
