The journey between Gatwick and Lewisham is roughly 28 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25.

By distance across all the areas we cover from Gatwick, this route is among the closest areas we cover from Gatwick — the 15th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Gatwick, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Lewisham 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.
The Gatwick–Lewisham run is roughly 28 miles, usually along the M23 and M25, with Lewisham sitting to the north-north-east of the airport. Lewisham is a busy south-east London borough taking in Deptford, Catford, Blackheath and New Cross.
Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle.
The word “taxi” gets used for almost any hired car in everyday conversation, but a licensed minicab is a genuinely separate, regulated category from a black cab — it must be pre-booked rather than hailed, and both the driver and vehicle carry their own private hire licence. That is exactly how this transfer is arranged: booked in advance, licensed throughout, and priced before you travel. On this specific route, Lewisham lies to the north-north-east of Gatwick, a journey of around 28 miles — among the closest areas we cover from Gatwick compared with our other Gatwick routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
the M23 and M25 are at their busiest on weekday mornings and early evenings around Gatwick to Lewisham, as commuter traffic overlaps with airport and local trips. Early or late weekday journeys benefit from extra time in the schedule; quieter periods fall on evenings, weekends and school holidays. Whatever the traffic, your driver plans the route in advance and the fare does not change.
Nothing about the pickup is left to chance: the meeting point is agreed in advance, and on airport legs we track the flight so the timing matches your real arrival, not the timetable. Plan for the usual airport process around the journey itself — security and check-in outbound, passport control and baggage inbound — which is exactly what the free waiting allowance in your fare is there for.
It helps to flag your group size and luggage when you book rather than on the day — a saloon comfortably takes four passengers and two large cases, and an estate, MPV or 8-seater covers anything bigger, from extra suitcases to pushchairs. Demand for this kind of trip tends to rise in school holidays and over summer, so an earlier booking makes it easier to lock in the vehicle you need.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:
An executive chauffeur car for business trips and special occasions.
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.
A day out further afield with a private tour.
The cost is set in advance for the Gatwick to Lewisham trip and covers parking and waiting time, so nothing is added later. The route is about 28 miles, normally 45–70 minutes by road, but the price stays the same whatever the traffic. Request your price online or over the phone.
Always. We follow your inbound flight and reset the pickup to when you actually touch down, so the driver to Lewisham is there on time no matter the delay.
