Taxi From Gatwick
To London
Both Terminals, One Fixed Fare
Land at Gatwick and walk straight to your driver — waiting at the Ground Transport Centre, whichever terminal you arrive at. We track your flight, meet you with a name board, and drive you into London via the M23, at a fixed price that already covers the £10 drop-off charge. No rank queue. No meter. No surge.
Gatwick to London Fares
Guide prices for a standard saloon (up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases), one way from either terminal. Gatwick sits south of the city, so South London and Sussex runs are shorter and cheaper than the trip into the centre. Every fare already includes the £10 drop-off charge, tolls and congestion charge where it applies.
| Gatwick to (London / South) | Fixed fare (from) | Journey time |
|---|---|---|
| London Victoria SW1 · closest central terminus | £68 | 60–80 min |
| Central London West End, Soho, W1 | £70 | 60–90 min |
| The City & London Bridge EC1–EC4, SE1 | £75 | 65–95 min |
| King's Cross & St Pancras N1C | £78 | 70–95 min |
| Canary Wharf E14 | £85 | 70–100 min |
| Kensington & Chelsea SW3, SW7 | £72 | 60–90 min |
| Croydon CR0 · South London | £45 | 30–45 min |
| Brixton & Clapham SW2, SW4 | £55 | 40–60 min |
| Brighton BN1 · via the A23 | £60 | 35–50 min |
| Crawley & Horley RH10, RH6 | £25 | 10–20 min |
| Heathrow Airport LHR · airport-to-airport | £95 | 55–85 min |
| Guildford & Surrey GU1 | £65 | 40–60 min |
All fares are per vehicle, not per passenger. Gatwick is farther from central London than Heathrow, so central fares are naturally higher — but South London and Sussex are much closer. Prices shown are for a saloon; estates, MPVs and 8-seat minivans are available for larger groups and extra luggage. WhatsApp us your postcode or call 020 8888 9988 for a fixed quote in seconds.
Gatwick's Two Terminals, Sorted
Gatwick is the only London airport with two completely separate terminal buildings, about 3 miles apart with their own arrivals halls and road approaches. We collect from the Ground Transport Centre at whichever terminal your flight lands — confirmed in advance from your flight number, so there's no confusion after a long flight.
North Terminal
Meet & greet at the North Terminal Ground Transport Centre as you exit arrivals. Its own forecourt and approach road off the M23 — your driver is directed straight to the right one.
South Terminal
Meet & greet at the South Terminal Ground Transport Centre, directly above Gatwick Airport station. We know exactly where to wait, whichever hall you come through.
Free Inter-Terminal Shuttle
The two terminals are linked by a free 24-hour shuttle train in about 4 minutes — but with us you won't need it. We come to your terminal, not the other one.
Right Terminal, Every Time
Your booking confirmation lists your terminal, and we confirm it from your flight number. No wrong-terminal mix-ups — the taxi fare is identical to both, so there's nothing to lose either way.
The M23 Run — And Why the Route Matters
Gatwick sits around 28 to 30 miles south of Central London in West Sussex. The road journey is longer than from Heathrow, so where you're going — and which way we take you — makes a real difference to the time and the fare.
M23 & M25 to the Centre
The standard route north: M23 from Junction 9, onto the M25, then into town. Around 60 to 90 minutes to Central London depending on the M25's mood.
A23 for South London
Heading to Croydon, Brixton or Brighton? The A23 is the direct, cheaper run — often just 30 to 50 minutes, well short of the full trip into the centre.
The M25 Factor
The Gatwick run lives and dies by the M25. Rush hour and the school-run windows (7–9am, 3–6pm) are the slow ones — we plan around them, and your fixed fare never rises for traffic.
London & the South Coast
Central, South or East London, plus Sussex and Surrey — wherever you're headed from Gatwick, we go door to door with no changes.
Taxi vs Gatwick Express, Thameslink & Black Cab
Gatwick has two good train options into London — the Gatwick Express to Victoria and Thameslink across the centre. Here's the honest comparison. A fixed-fare taxi wins on door-to-door convenience, groups and luggage; the train wins for a solo, light traveller heading near a station.
| Taxi On The Go | Gatwick Express / Thameslink | Black cab (rank) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door to door with luggage | Yes | Station to station | Yes |
| Price known before you land | Yes — fixed | Fixed ticket | No — metered |
| Goes straight to South London / Sussex | Direct | Wrong direction | Direct |
| No onward Tube / transfer | Direct | Usually needed | Direct |
| Meet & greet at the terminal | Included | n/a | No — queue |
| Value for a group of 3–4 | Best per head | 3–4 tickets | Metered |
| Works before ~5am (pre-train) | Yes, 24/7 | No service | Rank thin |
