Helpful airport transfer information from Airports Taxi UK, with private booking support for journeys across the UK.
If you’re in Ealing and searching “taxi near me” for a Gatwick run, here’s the honest version: it’s about 38 miles away and takes roughly 50-70 min depending on traffic. Ealing is one of west London’s bigger hubs but most taxi listings here are generic minicab firms with no real airport specialism — nobody’s explaining actual Gatwick timings.
50-70 min covers it in normal conditions, running via the A40 onto the North Circular, M25 then 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 Ealing, including around Ealing Broadway, Pitzhanger Manor and the Uxbridge Road corridor, 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.
From Ealing, Gatwick is about 39 miles by the usual route. Drivers head south-west through Brentford and Twickenham towards Hampton Court and Esher, join the M25 at junction 10 and follow it east to junction 7 for the M23.
The alternative is the M4 out to the M25 at junction 15, then south. It’s a few more miles but often quicker when the roads through Twickenham are busy.
For most short-haul flights we’d suggest leaving Ealing three hours before departure. On weekday mornings the North Circular and the roads round Brentford are slow, so allow a bit more.
We cover Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Southall and Greenford.
