The London → Gatwick taxi route guide — fixed fares, journey times via the A23 and M23, North vs South terminal, and how a fixed fare beats the surge on getaway evenings.
The route and time
Gatwick sits about 28 miles south of central London via the A23 and M23 — typically 60–90 minutes, longer on Friday getaway evenings. Our fixed fare starts from about £55 for a saloon and holds whatever the M23 is doing.
| From | Approx fare (saloon) | Typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Central London | from £55 | 60–90 min |
| South London | from £48 | 45–75 min |
| Croydon | from £40 | 35–55 min |
Figures here are illustrative worked examples based on typical London pricing and journey times — your exact fixed fare is always confirmed at booking.
North or South terminal
Gatwick has two terminals linked by a shuttle. Tell us which at booking — we meet you inside the right arrivals hall with a name board, flight tracked, luggage handled.
Beating the getaway surge
Friday and holiday-eve evenings are peak surge for Gatwick runs. A fixed fare booked ahead sidesteps it — book your London → Gatwick transfer in advance.
