Need a Heathrow to Gatwick taxi for a connecting flight or split-airport itinerary? CabsOn runs pre-booked inter-airport transfers from £85 saloon — direct route via M25, typical journey 60–90 minutes depending on traffic. Flight tracking on the inbound side, 60 minutes free waiting on Heathrow arrivals, and drop-off at any Gatwick terminal at a fixed fare.

The Heathrow to Gatwick journey

Heathrow (LHR) sits in west London (M4 J4); Gatwick (LGW) sits south of London on the M23. The most direct connection is via M25 anti-clockwise, around 45 miles. Typical journey time:

  • Off-peak (overnight, weekends) — 60–75 minutes
  • Peak commute hours (07:00–09:30, 16:30–19:30) — 90–110 minutes
  • M25 incidents — can add 30+ minutes; alternative routes via Guildford / A3 add 30–45 minutes

Our drivers monitor live M25 conditions and reroute when major incidents occur. For tight connecting flights we recommend allowing a 4-hour gate-to-gate window minimum, more if either airport is at peak hours.

What is included

  • Fixed fare quoted before booking
  • Flight tracking on the inbound (Heathrow or Gatwick) side
  • 60 min free waiting on inbound arrivals
  • Drop-off charge at the destination airport included
  • Meet & greet at the inbound terminal arrivals exit

Connecting-flight buffer recommendation

For a Heathrow → Gatwick same-day connecting flight, allow:

  • Long-haul → short-haul connection: minimum 5 hours gate-to-gate
  • Short-haul → short-haul: minimum 4 hours gate-to-gate
  • Both with check-in luggage: add 30 minutes
