Gatwick to London Journey Time and Route
An airport transfer from Gatwick to London takes around 1 hour and 5 minutes in light traffic. The route runs north on the M23 to junction 7, then joins the M25 anti-clockwise, then follows the A23 or A24 into Central London. The exact route depends on your final address.
Rush hour adds around 25 minutes, mostly on the M25 anti-clockwise stretch between junctions 7 and 8. Late-night runs from 10pm onwards are faster, often 50 minutes door-to-door.
The Gatwick Express reaches Victoria in 30 minutes. Faster on paper, but only between Gatwick and Victoria station. With luggage, children, or an early flight, you still need a second cab at Victoria to reach your actual address. By the time you have crossed two platforms and queued at the taxi rank, the door-to-door taxi has caught up.
