The journey between Gatwick and Greenwich is roughly 30 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25. In normal conditions allow about 40–60 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day. Because your fare is fixed, a longer run on the day costs you no more than the price you were quoted.
Greenwich sits roughly to the north-north-east of Gatwick. By distance across all the areas we cover from Gatwick, this route is a middle-distance run, neither especially short nor long for Gatwick — the 32nd shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Gatwick, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Greenwich against a nearby postcode for the same trip.
Distance and time are approximate, measured by road and intended as a guide only. For airport pickups we track your flight and time the journey to your landing, building in extra for traffic so you are not left waiting.
By road, Greenwich is about 30 miles from Gatwick, generally via the M23 and M25, and lies to the north-north-east of the airport itself. Greenwich, on the south bank of the Thames, is famous for its maritime history, the Royal Observatory and the O2 at North Greenwich.
Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle.
Plenty of people use “taxi” loosely for any hired car, but a licensed minicab is a distinct, regulated category from a black cab: no hailing on the street, a booking made ahead of time, and separate private hire licensing for both car and driver. This transfer runs on that same basis — booked ahead, fully licensed, fare fixed before you set off. On this specific route, Greenwich lies to the north-north-east of Gatwick, a journey of around 30 miles — a middle-distance run, neither especially short nor long for Gatwick compared with our other Gatwick routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
Weekday rush hours are the main thing to plan around for Gatwick to Greenwich, since the M23 and M25 get busy with commuters as well as airport traffic. An early-morning or early-evening weekday trip is worth a little extra buffer; things generally ease off in the evenings, at weekends and during school holidays. The fare stays fixed regardless of which of these you land in.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
Mentioning your group size and luggage at booking, rather than on the day, means we bring the right car from the start — a saloon for four passengers and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater when there is more to carry. Expect more demand for this kind of journey around school holidays and summer, so a little lead time helps when it comes to booking the right vehicle.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:

A company account for corporate airport travel.
Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
