The route
From Kingston upon Thames (KT1, KT2) the natural line out is the A3 and the A308, joining A27 Falmer interchange, then Village Way for the last part of the journey. That is about 53 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 20m off-peak becomes 1h 50m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at American Express Stadium
Village Way North, on the university side away from the station ramp. The A27 at Falmer is single-carriageway either side of the ground and backs up badly, so an early set-down beats sitting in it.
Address: Village Way, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9BL.
Pickups across Kingston upon Thames
Any address in Kingston upon Thames works, along with the wider KT1, KT2 area of South West London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
Kingston upon Thames pickups take in all of KT1, KT2. 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 match starts. Allowing 1h 50m for the drive from Kingston upon Thames plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

EES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
