The route
From Stevenage (SG1, SG2) the natural line out is the A1(M) J7 and the A602, joining A406 North Circular, then Bounds Green Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 26 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 55 min off-peak becomes 1h 20m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at Alexandra Palace
The Palm Court entrance on Alexandra Palace Way. The hill up to the Palace is steep and the internal roads run one-way on event nights, so pickup is at Palm Court rather than the car parks.
Address: Alexandra Palace Way, Wood Green, N22 7AY.

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.
