A Gatwick airport transfer from London can start anywhere from a South London family home to a hotel near Oxford Street or a business address in Canary Wharf. Pickups in Croydon, Wimbledon, Clapham, Brixton and Dulwich differ from journeys beginning in Islington, Camden, Paddington or the West End, so the actual collection address is important.
Many London passengers use Gatwick for holidays, international flights and visits from family and friends. Travelling with suitcases, children or several passengers can make a pre-booked, door-to-door airport taxi an attractive alternative to crossing London to reach a rail departure point.

Passengers arriving at Gatwick may be continuing to Westminster, South Kensington, London Bridge, the City or destinations farther across Greater London. A direct transfer means the next part of the trip is arranged around the address where they actually need to go.
For Gatwick collections, include your flight details and check the meeting instructions for the correct terminal. For departures from London, allow for the different traffic conditions that can affect routes through the capital and towards Sussex.
