Why transfer directly between airports?
A direct taxi between Gatwick and Heathrow is the most reliable option for passengers with connecting flights.
Transferring between Gatwick (LGW) and Heathrow (LHR) by public transport requires travelling into central London and back out again — adding 2–3 hours and significant luggage management to your journey. A direct pre-booked taxi takes the orbital route via M23 / M25, the most popular cross-airport route in the UK.
