Heathrow to Gatwick: Distance and Time
The two airports are about 40 miles apart by road, both just off the M25. The usual route is the M25 anticlockwise to junction 7 and then the M23. Outside rush hour it takes around 45 minutes to an hour. The M25 between the M4 and M23 is busy at weekday peak times, so allow extra.
Coaches run between the airports and are cheaper for one person travelling light. A taxi suits families, groups, heavy luggage or a late arrival.
How Much Time to Allow Between Flights
Add up the time to clear arrivals at Heathrow, the drive, and your airline's check-in cut-off at Gatwick. For most connections a gap of at least five hours is sensible. Book with your arrival flight number so the driver works to your actual landing time.
