Helpful airport transfer information from Airports Taxi UK, with private booking support for journeys across the UK.
If you’re in Redbridge and searching “taxi near me” for a Gatwick run, here’s the honest version: it’s about 40 miles away and takes roughly 60-85 min depending on traffic. Redbridge is closer to Stansted in most local firms’ thinking, so genuinely useful Gatwick content from this side of London is thin on the ground.
60-85 min covers it in normal conditions, running via the A12 to 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 Redbridge, including around Ilford, Wanstead and the Gants Hill 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.
From Redbridge, Gatwick is about 55 miles by the quickest route. Drivers head east on the A12 to the M25, go clockwise round through the Dartford Crossing and come down the M23 from junction 7.
Cutting through London via the Blackwall Tunnel is shorter on paper, but it’s rarely quicker during the day. We use it only late at night.
Because of the Dartford Crossing, we’d normally collect from Redbridge three and a half hours before a short-haul departure in the morning, and about three hours later in the day.
We cover Woodford, Wanstead, Gants Hill, Barkingside, Chigwell and South Woodford.
