The route

From Woking (GU21, GU22, GU23) the natural line out is the M25 J11 and the A320, joining M25 J8/J9, then A24 and Epsom Downs for the last part of the journey. That is about 18.3 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 35 min off-peak becomes 50 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 Woking

We pick up anywhere in Woking and the surrounding Surrey postcodes - GU21, GU22, GU23. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.

From Woking the M25 J11, A320 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 raceday starts. Allowing 50 min for the drive from Woking plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from Epsom Downs Racecourse

Coming back to Woking costs the same £50. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.
