Private car to Epsom Downs Racecourse KT18 · The Derby & The Oaks · Classic flat racing
The Derby at Epsom Downs is the most prestigious flat race in Britain and one of the five Classic races of the flat season. Run over 1 mile 4 furlongs at Epsom Downs Racecourse (Epsom Downs, KT18 5LQ), it takes place on the first Saturday of June. The Oaks — the fillies' equivalent — is run on the Friday. Epsom Downs is approximately 16 miles from central London, reached in 30–40 minutes via the A24 or A240.
The Derby has been run since 1780 and remains one of the great occasions in British life. The Queen's Stand and Duchess's Stand offer formal hospitality experiences; the Hill is a more informal and very lively public enclosure. Private vehicle access to the racecourse is via the Tattenham Corner approach, with drop-off at the designated private car/taxi area adjacent to the Grandstand.
