Blue Town is the oldest part of Sheerness, the grid of streets that grew up beside the naval dockyard and now sits right next to the Port of Sheerness. It's only a couple of minutes from our base, so an airport pickup here is about as quick as it gets.
From Blue Town we head out past the station and along the A250 to the Sheppey Crossing, then on to the motorway network. Because you start at the very western tip of the island, every London airport is within about 50 to 90 miles, and Gatwick and London City are usually the quickest.
