Heathrow to Gatwick Taxi Fare — £102 Fixed

About Our LHR to LGW Service

Everything You Need to Know About the Heathrow to Gatwick Taxi Fare

If you're researching the Heathrow to Gatwick taxi fare for a cross-airport connection, you'll quickly realise it's one of the more confusing London airport fares to estimate. Black cabs are metered (the fare changes by £40+ depending on traffic). Uber surges unpredictably. Train tickets to and from London Victoria add up fast for two people. National Express coach is cheapest per person but takes 90+ minutes with a change. Get London Transfer's £102 fixed Heathrow to Gatwick taxi fare cuts through all that — it's locked at booking, never surges, includes free meet-and-greet, free flight tracking and 60-minute free wait, and the same fixed fare applies whether you're booking a 4am Monday cross-airport connection or a 6pm Friday peak-hour transfer.

Heathrow to Gatwick Taxi Fare for Pre-4am and Late-Night Connections

One of the most common reasons customers book a fixed-fare Heathrow to Gatwick taxi with us is the pre-4am or late-night cross-airport connection. Typical scenarios:

• Long-haul LHR arrival 22:00-02:00 + Gatwick early-morning departure 06:00-08:00 — most common pattern. Same £102 fixed fare regardless of pickup hour.
• Late LGW arrival + early LHR long-haul departure — reverse direction, same £102 fixed fare. Common for Virgin Atlantic Gatwick to BA Heathrow connections.
• BA First class LHR-T5 arrival + Gatwick connection on a different airline — typical for separate-ticket bookings. Mercedes E executive £121 standard for this.

All cross-airport transfers regardless of pickup hour at the same fixed fare. No night surcharge. No 4am premium. No Christmas Day uplift. The £102 you book at noon is the £102 you pay at 4am.

Journey Time and the M25 Route

The standard Heathrow to Gatwick route is M25 anti-clockwise from Junction 14 (Heathrow) to Junction 7 or 9 (Gatwick). Total distance is approximately 45 miles. Journey time depends on traffic:

• Off-peak (overnight, late evening, weekends, mid-day): 1h-1h15m — clear M25 run.
• Standard daytime: 1h15m-1h30m — typical traffic.
• Friday afternoon and rush hour (07:00-10:00, 16:00-19:00): 1h45m-2h — M25 congestion.
• Bank holiday weekends and major event days (Wimbledon, Cheltenham Festival, Silverstone F1, NFL London, Royal Ascot): 2h-2h30m — exceptional traffic. We recommend booking pickup 30+ minutes earlier than standard.

Driver monitors live traffic on the day. If the M25 is heavily delayed, alternative routes via the A23 or A24 may be quicker — driver decides on the day based on live conditions. The £102 fixed taxi fare doesn't change with route or traffic.
