The Betfred Derby Festival
The Derby at Epsom from Heathrow Airport
A chauffeured day at the Derby at Epsom, starting from Heathrow Airport. For guests landing at Heathrow, the meeting point is the arrivals hall, with the flight tracked. Expect about 36 minutes on the road via the M4, M25 and B280, a distance of 29.1 miles. Compared with a Mayfair start, it is 13 minutes less in the car. The Derby at Epsom returns 4–5 June 2027. The Group 1 Coolmore Coronation Cup is also run on Derby Day.
How the day runs
If you are flying in for the day, the chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you in arrivals. You travel in an executive saloon for couples and small parties. Leaving Heathrow Airport, the car picks up the M4 and keeps to the main roads. At Epsom Downs Racecourse the car uses the drop-off point the organisers set for your ticket. Through the afternoon the car is parked close by, not sent away. The return to Heathrow Airport takes about 39 minutes, plus whatever the car parks need to empty.
