Gatwick Airport sits approximately 27 to 28 miles south of Central London. The most direct route heads south via the A23 through Brixton, Streatham and Croydon before joining the M23 directly into the airport. In good traffic the journey takes 60 to 75 minutes. During afternoon peak hours — particularly 4pm to 7pm on weekdays — the A23 and M25 interchange can extend the journey to 90 minutes or more. UKride plans your pickup time around your specific flight, not a best-case scenario.
Gatwick has two separate terminals — North Terminal and South Terminal — connected by a free transit monorail but physically quite different in location. Arriving at the wrong terminal can cost 15 minutes and significant stress. When you book with UKride, confirm your terminal and your driver takes you directly to the correct drop-off zone. easyJet, TUI and Norwegian primarily use the North Terminal. British Airways, Wizz Air and Vueling use the South Terminal. If in doubt, check your boarding pass.

We regularly serve Westminster, Mayfair, Soho, Covent Garden, the City of London, Southbank, Waterloo, Victoria and all surrounding Central London postcodes for Gatwick airport transfers.
The Gatwick Express runs from Victoria Station to Gatwick in 30 minutes — and for a solo traveller staying near Victoria with only hand luggage, it is a competitive option. But Victoria is not Central London for most people. Getting to Victoria with checked bags, finding the right platform, and then handling luggage from the Gatwick station to your terminal adds significant time and effort. For families, groups, or anyone coming from the City, Waterloo, Covent Garden or Southbank, a pre-booked taxi from your exact address to your specific terminal is often quicker and always more comfortable.
Once you book with UKride for your Gatwick transfer from Central London, you will see why so many passengers avoid the train entirely.
Gatwick is further from Central London than Heathrow, which makes planning your departure time even more important.

Every journey is planned around your flight time — we never leave pickup timing to chance on a 28-mile route with variable traffic.
