Queenborough is the historic harbour town on the west side of Sheppey, with its own station on the Sheerness line and the Swale right on its doorstep. It's the closest town on the island to the Sheppey Crossing, so airport trips from here get off to a fast start.
We collect from the old town, the harbour, the newer homes around Queenborough and the station. From Queenborough, London City is under an hour on a clear run, and Gatwick is typically just over an hour.
