Open 24/7Your journey from Sheerness to Birmingham
Birmingham is the UK's second city, and a regular trip for exhibitions, football, university moves and family visits.
From Sheerness, Birmingham is about 175 miles by road, usually 3 hr 15 – 4 hr 15 door to door. The usual route is the A249, M2, A2, Dartford Crossing (A282), M25, A414, M1 and M6. It crosses the Thames at Dartford, where queues build at busy times, so we plan the pickup time with a margin.
It's a long drive, so we'll stop for a comfort break whenever you need one. You can sleep, read or work on the way, and arrive without the stress of changes, platforms and connections.
