Helpful airport transfer information from Airports Taxi UK, with private booking support for journeys across the UK.
If you’re in Wandsworth and searching “taxi near me” for a Gatwick run, here’s the honest version: it’s about 20 miles away and takes roughly 35-50 min depending on traffic. Wandsworth sits close enough to Gatwick that the run is genuinely quick, something most generic minicab sites here don’t bother pointing out.
35-50 min covers it in normal conditions, running via the A3 then A23 south towards the M23. Early mornings and late evenings are consistently the quickest; weekday rush hour on the M25 section is where most of the variability comes from.
We collect from all over Wandsworth, including around Wandsworth town centre, Clapham Junction and the Southside shopping centre, plus the surrounding residential streets. Wherever your postcode sits, the fixed fare is the same — no extra charge for being a few streets further out.
Priced by pickup postcode and vehicle size like every route on our network, fixed at booking. Whatever the traffic does on the day, it doesn’t change what you pay.
Standard saloons cover most couples and small families; if there are more of you or you’re travelling with extra luggage, our 8 seater and 7 seater options keep everyone together in one car rather than splitting into two.
Gatwick is about 27 miles from Wandsworth by road. The driver usually heads down through Tooting and Streatham to the A23, follows it through Croydon and joins the M23 at Hooley for the final run south.
From the western side of the borough, around Putney and Southfields, some drivers go via Kingston and the A3 to the M25 instead. It’s longer in miles but can be quicker when the A23 is congested.
For most daytime departures, leaving Wandsworth three hours before your flight gives a comfortable margin. Before 7am the roads are quiet and two and a half hours is usually enough.
We collect from Battersea, Clapham Junction, Balham, Tooting, Earlsfield, Putney and Southfields.
