Gatwick Airport Transfers
Gatwick sits further south of central London than Heathrow, in Sussex, and is split across two terminals, North and South, connected by an internal shuttle. It's our lowest fixed-rate airport at £95, and the one where confirming which terminal your airline actually uses matters most, since the two are a genuine walk apart rather than a short corridor.
The Route from Mayfair
The standard route to Gatwick runs south via the A23 corridor onto the M23, covering roughly 30 miles from central London. In normal traffic this takes 60 to 75 minutes, noticeably longer than Heathrow, which is why we treat Gatwick departures with a wider timing buffer as standard, particularly for early morning long-haul connections where missing a check-in window isn't an option.
The fixed £95 rate covers the full journey from central London pickup points and already includes waiting time for delayed arrivals. As with our other airport routes, your chauffeur tracks the actual flight number rather than the scheduled time, so a delayed landing simply shifts the pickup window without any extra charge or need to phone ahead.
North & South Terminals
- South TerminalThe larger and older of the two, handling the majority of scheduled long-haul and charter arrivals, including easyJet's main Gatwick base.
- North TerminalSmaller and quieter, home to British Airways and Virgin Atlantic Gatwick departures, connected to the South Terminal by a short automated shuttle.
- Confirmed in AdvanceBecause the two terminals are a genuine distance apart, we confirm which one your airline uses before booking your pickup, not on the day.
Why Book Gatwick Through SPH Services
We confirm North or South against your specific airline before your journey, so your chauffeur is waiting at the right arrivals hall rather than a shared "Gatwick" meeting point.
Outbound and return legs can be booked together, with your return pickup timed against your actual inbound flight rather than the original scheduled landing slot.
Given the longer drive south, early-morning Gatwick pickups are scheduled with extra buffer time as a default, not an optional extra you have to request.
Whether you're starting from Mayfair, Chelsea, or further out in Kensington and Knightsbridge, the A23/M23 route timing is recalculated per pickup point rather than quoted as one flat figure for the whole of central London.
