Travelling between Gatwick and Wandsworth covers around 27 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25, with Wandsworth lying to the north of the airport. Wandsworth is a leafy south-west London borough covering Battersea, Putney, Balham and Tooting, popular with families and commuters.
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, Wandsworth lies to the north of Gatwick, a journey of around 27 miles — one of the shorter transfers we run from Gatwick compared with our other Gatwick routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
The busiest times for Gatwick to Wandsworth are weekday rush hours, when the M23 and M25 carry commuter traffic alongside airport and local journeys. If you are travelling before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday, it pays to leave a little earlier; evenings, weekends and school holidays tend to move more freely. We plan the timing either way, so the fixed fare and the pickup time both hold.
We agree the exact pickup point with you before the day, so there is nothing to work out when you travel, and any airport leg has the flight tracked so timing follows your real schedule rather than the printed one. Build in the normal airport steps around the drive — check-in and security outbound, passport control and baggage on arrival — both covered by the waiting time already included in your fare.
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.

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.
