Book a Streatham to Gatwick Airport Taxi
Travelling from Streatham to Gatwick Airport takes around 50-65 minutes via the M23, making it one of the more straightforward South London routes to the airport. A pre-booked private taxi collects you from your door on or near Streatham High Road and takes you directly to your terminal, with your fare agreed before you travel. It is a practical alternative to the Southern and Thameslink services from Streatham station, particularly with luggage, an early start, or a group travelling together.

Why book a private transfer?
Streatham has direct rail services to Gatwick Airport, and for many journeys the train is a reasonable option. Where a pre-booked taxi tends to work better is with luggage, young children, an early or late departure when trains are less frequent, or a group who would rather travel together in one vehicle than split across a train carriage. There are no changes to plan and no platform waits: your driver collects you at your door, takes your flight details at booking, and drives you straight to your terminal. If you would like to compare timings, National Rail publishes live timetables for the Streatham to Gatwick route.
Gatwick Airport pickup and drop-off
See our Gatwick Airport taxi transfers page for more on terminal facilities and our wider Gatwick service. Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, connected by a free shuttle, so we confirm your airline, terminal and flight number when you book. For departures, your driver takes you straight to your terminal’s drop-off point. For arrivals, give us your flight number and a mobile contact number at booking so your driver can track the flight and adjust pickup timing before meeting you in the terminal.

There is no meter running and no extra charge if the M23 is busier than expected.
