The journey between Gatwick and Putney is roughly 28 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25. In normal conditions allow about 45–70 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.
Putney sits roughly to the north of Gatwick. By distance across all the areas we cover from Gatwick, this route is a quick, short-distance run by our usual standards — the 14th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Gatwick, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Putney 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–Putney run is roughly 28 miles, usually along the M23 and M25, with Putney sitting to the north of the airport. Putney sits on the south bank of the Thames in south-west London, a smart riverside suburb known for rowing and its bridge.
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, Putney lies to the north of Gatwick, a journey of around 28 miles — a quick, short-distance run by our usual standards 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 Putney, 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.
The pickup point is settled in advance so there is no confusion on the day, and any airport leg is flight-tracked, meaning the car follows your real landing time rather than the original schedule. Either side of the drive, expect the usual airport process — check-in and security outbound, or passport control and baggage reclaim inbound — both allowed for in the included waiting time.
Sort out group size and luggage when you book, not on the day: four passengers and two large cases fit a saloon well, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater handles more — extra suitcases, pushchairs or sports bags included. This kind of journey sees more demand over school holidays and summer, so booking with some notice makes it easier to get the vehicle sized correctly.
