About this route

Route overview

Royal Greenwich is the UNESCO World Heritage Thames-side district — the Royal Observatory (the prime meridian), the Cutty Sark tea clipper, the National Maritime Museum, the Queen's House and the Old Royal Naval College. The driver pulls up to Gatwick South or North Terminal based on your flight number and waits in arrivals with a name board. Typical drive times from LGW are 75-105 min off-peak, up to 130 min in the afternoon peak (4-7 PM). The route follows M23 → M25 clockwise → Junction 3, then the A20 and A2 into Greenwich. Premium hotels nearby include The Pilot, InterContinental London – The O2 and discreet riverside guesthouses. Greenwich links quietly to ExCeL London through the Blackwall Tunnel — the choice of premium guests for London Tech Week, World Travel Market or the Defence and Security Equipment International conference. The LGW distance is longer than from LHR, but for easyJet, Wizz and TUI passengers it remains the natural choice.

London Gatwick (LGW) -> Wimbledon

Wimbledon is the home of the oldest tennis tournament in the world — the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Centre Court and The Wimbledon Championships at the turn of June and July. LGW is the natural choice for guests booked on easyJet, Wizz Air or TUI — 40-50 km from LGW to Wimbledon is comparable with LHR (24-28 km). The driver pulls up to Gatwick South or North Terminal based on your flight number and waits in arrivals with a name board. Typical drive times are 55-85 min off-peak, up to 110 min in the afternoon peak (4-7 PM). During The Championships (late June / early July) the entire Wimbledon Village and the area around Centre Court are under load — we plan routing and timings with a generous buffer. The route follows M23 → M25 clockwise → Junction 10, then the A24 to Wimbledon Common or straight into Wimbledon Village. Premium hotels on our drop list include Cannizaro House, Hotel du Vin Wimbledon and Lansdowne House. Gate 5 (Centre Court) and Gate 13 (Court 1) are the standard VIP drop points for Debenture ticket holders.

London Gatwick (LGW) -> Windsor

Windsor sits 60-70 km from Gatwick — Royal Windsor is naturally closer to LHR (just 10 km), but easyJet, Wizz Air and TUI passengers into LGW also need a discreet transfer to Windsor Castle, Eton and Royal Ascot. The driver pulls up to Gatwick South or North Terminal based on your flight number and waits in arrivals with a name board. Typical drive time is 75-100 min — the route runs north on the M23, then clockwise on the M25 (the western orbital) to Junction 15, then the M4 and A308 into central Royal Windsor. Windsor Castle (the monarch's official residence, open to visitors), St George's Chapel, Eton College and the Royal Ascot racecourse make up the heart of town. Premium hotels on our drop list include the Macdonald Windsor Hotel, the Sir Christopher Wren Hotel & Spa, the Castle Hotel Windsor and Oakley Court. During Royal Ascot week (June) Windsor becomes a hub for European society — we recommend booking transfers well in advance.

London Gatwick (LGW) -> London Stansted (STN)

LGW -> STN is the longest inter-airport connection in London — 95 km around the M25. The scenario: easyJet, Wizz Air or TUI into LGW and a Ryanair, Jet2 or Wizz Air leg out of Stansted, or the reverse. 90-130 min off-peak, up to 160 min in the afternoon peak (4-7 PM). The route runs north on the M23, then clockwise on the M25 along the full western and northern loop to Junction 27, then the M11 north to the Stansted terminal. The bottleneck is the whole M25 section between Junction 7 and Junction 27 — congestion is constant in working hours. The service operates 24/7, so we also handle overnight misconnects after a delayed flight. We recommend a 3 hour buffer before a Stansted departure (Ryanair closes bag drop 40 min before flight). The driver pulls up at the correct LGW terminal to your flight number (South or North) and delivers you to the Stansted terminal.

London Gatwick (LGW) -> Richmond

Richmond upon Thames is the greenest corner of Greater London — Richmond Park (the capital's largest royal park), the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, the riverside village of Petersham and Kingston upon Thames a short hop away. The driver pulls up to Gatwick South or North Terminal based on your flight number and waits in arrivals with a name board. Typical drive times from LGW are 70-100 min off-peak, up to 130 min in the afternoon peak (4-7 PM). The route follows the M23 north, then the M25 clockwise (the western orbital) to Junction 12, then the A205 South Circular onto Richmond Hill or straight along Petersham Road by the Thames. Premium hotels on our drop list include The Petersham, the Bingham Riverhouse and The Richmond Hill Hotel. Richmond combines a quiet premium Greater London feel with ten minutes to Kew Gardens and a quarter-hour to Wimbledon — the choice of guests who prefer river views and privacy over the central West End.

London Gatwick (LGW) -> Amsterdam

A transfer from Gatwick to Amsterdam runs via the Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais, then on the A16 in France, the E40 and E19 across Belgium (passing Brussels and Antwerp) and the A4/A2 motorways in the Netherlands. Altogether 500-530 km and 8.5-10.5 hours door-to-door. Premium Amsterdam hotels on our drop list include the Conservatorium Hotel, Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, Pulitzer Amsterdam, Hotel TwentySeven, De L'Europe and Sofitel Legend The Grand. The Eurotunnel runs 24/7, we book the slot in advance, and after the exit in Calais the journey continues on a single chain of motorways with no change of vehicle. From LGW the drive to Folkestone is shorter than from LHR (M23/M25/M20 instead of swinging around the full M25), so the whole transfer is about 30-60 min faster. On request we stop for lunch in Bruges or Antwerp — the break is built into the plan. The driver pulls up to the North or South Terminal according to your flight number and waits in the arrivals hall with a name board.

The bottleneck is the whole M25 section between Junction 7 and Junction 21 — congestion is constant in working hours. The service operates 24/7, so we also handle overnight misconnects after a delayed flight.
