Helpful airport transfer information from Airports Taxi UK, with private booking support for journeys across the UK.
If you’re in Lambeth and searching “taxi near me” for a Gatwick run, here’s the honest version: it’s about 24 miles away and takes roughly 40-55 min depending on traffic. Lambeth is well served for central London transport but Gatwick-specific advice is scarce — most content here is generic “London taxi” copy.
40-55 min covers it in normal conditions, running via the A23 (Brixton Road) most of the way down to 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 Lambeth, including around Brixton, Clapham and the Vauxhall/Stockwell area, 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.
Lambeth to Gatwick is about 26 miles by road. The driver heads south along the A23 through Brixton, Streatham and Norbury, through Croydon and onto the M23 at Hooley.
It’s a direct route, but it runs through some of the busiest roads in south London. Before 7am it’s quick; in the rush hour the A23 can be slow from Brixton to Purley.
For a daytime flight, a pickup around three hours before departure is sensible from Lambeth. For early flights, two and a half hours is usually enough.
We pick up from Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington, Brixton, Clapham, Stockwell and Streatham.
