Gatwick Airport to Norwich, via the M25 and M11.

Gatwick to Norwich is about 151 miles and roughly three hours, round the eastern M25 and up through Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. It is one of the longest runs we do, and the last stretch is A-road rather than motorway. Fixed fare here, or call +44 20 8050 9020.

The Gatwick to Norwich route

M23 north to the M25, anticlockwise round the east, then the M11 north and the A11 across to Norwich. Around 151 miles and about 178 minutes. The M11 section is quick; the A11 beyond Cambridge is dual carriageway rather than motorway, and the last few miles into the city are ordinary roads.
East Anglia is the part of England least well served by fast road links, which is why a journey of this distance takes longer here than the same mileage would towards Birmingham or Bristol.

What tends to affect the time

The M25 eastern section

The main variable, particularly around the Dartford approach.

The A11 through Thetford

Dual carriageway with roundabouts, and slower than motorway throughout.

The Norwich ring road

Congested at both peaks.

Summer coastal traffic

Weekend traffic heading for the Norfolk coast affects the A11 and A47 from late morning.

Where we drop off in Norwich

The city centre and the Lanes

Substantial pedestrianised areas, so set-down is at the edge.

Norwich station

Designated set-down on the forecourt, easy to reach from the ring road.

The university and the Norfolk and Norwich hospital

Both on the western edge with their own access roads.

Norwich Airport

North of the city and a separate destination, if you are connecting.

Practical details

Your driver meets you inside arrivals at your Gatwick terminal with a name board. This is our optional meet and greet service. If you'd rather not add it, your driver phones you once you're on the ground to agree where to meet. We track the inbound flight so a delay moves the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are included.
Three hours is a long journey. We would suggest an MPV rather than a saloon for four people with luggage, and we will build a comfort stop into the run if you want one. For a group, the eight seater is considerably better than two vehicles over this distance.

Meeting your driver at Gatwick

Your driver tracks the inbound flight, so a delay on the runway does not cost you the car. Arrival time is taken from the moment the aircraft lands rather than the time printed on the ticket, and waiting time is included while you clear immigration and collect bags.

North and South Terminal

Tell us the terminal when you book and the driver meets you in the arrivals hall by the exit from baggage reclaim, holding a name board. If you land at one terminal and your booking says the other, the shuttle between the two runs around the clock and takes a few minutes, but it is simpler to send us a quick message so the driver moves to meet you.

If plans change in the air

Diversions, missed connections and cancelled flights happen. Call the office as soon as you have signal and we will rebook the pick-up rather than treating it as a no-show. For very late landings the car is still held, because the driver is watching the flight rather than the clock.

The last stretch into Norfolk

This is a long run and the character of it changes near the end. The motorway section is straightforward; the final approach into Norfolk is on A roads that carry a lot of agricultural and holiday traffic, and they do not behave like a motorway. We allow for that rather than assuming an average speed that only holds on the M25.

Norwich and beyond

Plenty of bookings that say Norwich actually finish at the coast, in Cromer, Great Yarmouth or one of the villages. That is no trouble, but it changes the journey materially, so enter the real destination rather than the nearest city.

Dropping off in the city

Norwich city centre has a restricted core with bus gates and pedestrianised streets. For the station, the hospital or the university the approach is simple. For an address inside the walls, give the building name and the driver will find the closest permitted stop.

Timing a long transfer

On a journey of this length, the variable that matters is not distance but the motorway network on the day. We build the likely conditions into the time we agree rather than quoting a best case, and the fare is fixed when you book, so a slow stretch costs you time but never money.

How much margin to allow

For a flight, work back from the check-in time your airline has set rather than the departure time. Tell us the flight number and we will propose a pick-up. Most people would rather sit in the terminal with a coffee than watch the clock on the motorway.

Breaks, luggage and child seats

There are services on every one of these routes if you want to stop, which is worth knowing with children in the car. Tell us the number of cases as well as passengers so the right vehicle turns up, and ask for child or booster seats when you book so we bring the correct ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

We charge a fixed fare for every Gatwick to Norwich taxi journey. You see the total price before you book, with no meter running and no hidden extras. Parking, tolls and congestion charges are included in the quoted price.

Around three hours for roughly 151 miles. The M11 section is quick but the A11 into Norfolk is dual carriageway rather than motorway, which is what stretches the time.

Because East Anglia has fewer fast road links. The final sixty miles are A-road with roundabouts rather than motorway.

It means crossing London to Liverpool Street. Faster on paper, slower and more awkward with luggage or a group. For a late arrival with no good connection, the car is the practical choice.

Yes, and over three hours we would recommend it. Tell us when you book so it is priced in.

We track it and move the pickup to your actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting.

Yes. Tell us the town rather than booking Norwich and walking on from there, and we will quote the actual destination.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
