Gatwick Airport to Tower Bridge, via the M23 and M25.

Gatwick to Tower Bridge is about 48 miles and roughly 72 minutes. The bridge sits close to the Congestion Charge boundary, so whether the charge applies depends on which side of the river you are heading for. Fixed fare quoted here, or call +44 20 8050 9020.

The Gatwick to Tower Bridge route

M23 to the M25, anticlockwise round the east, then in on the A20 and A2 towards Blackheath and north along the A13 side. Around 48 miles and about 72 minutes. Like the other eastern destinations, the route trades distance for speed by staying on fast roads until the last few miles.

North side or south side

This matters more than people expect. Tower Bridge connects two quite different areas, and the drop-off, the traffic and the charging all differ depending on which end you want.

North side

The Tower of London, Tower Hill and the eastern edge of the City. Inside the Congestion Charge zone.

South side

Shad Thames, Butler's Wharf and Bermondsey, with the restaurants and converted warehouses. Just outside the zone boundary at Tower Bridge Road.

Because the boundary runs so close here, we confirm whether the charge applies against your exact destination when we quote rather than assuming.

What tends to affect the time

Bridge lifts

Tower Bridge still opens for river traffic. Lifts are scheduled and published in advance, and each one holds road traffic for several minutes.

Tower Hill

Heavy visitor traffic through the day, particularly in summer.

Shad Thames

Very narrow, cobbled in places and difficult for larger vehicles.

The A13 and Limehouse

The approach on the north side, slow at both peaks.

Practical details

Your driver meets you inside arrivals at your Gatwick terminal holding a name board. Meet and greet is an optional extra; without it your driver calls you once you've landed to agree a pickup point. We track the inbound flight so a delay moves the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free. Where a charge applies on your route, the Congestion Charge included, it is already inside the fixed fare we quote.
A saloon takes two with cases and an MPV suits four with full luggage. If you are booking the eight seater for a Shad Thames address, tell us, because some of those streets genuinely cannot take a large vehicle and we will agree a set-down point nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

You never pay it separately, because any charge that applies is already inside your fare. Which side you want does affect whether it arises at all. The north side around the Tower is inside the zone; the south side at Shad Thames and Bermondsey is just outside the boundary at Tower Bridge Road. We confirm against your exact address when we quote.

Yes for the north side. Say so when you book and we will drop you at Tower Hill rather than across the bridge.

About 72 minutes for roughly 48 miles by the M25 and A2. Add time for a scheduled bridge lift or summer visitor traffic around Tower Hill.

Yes, for river traffic, and each lift holds road traffic for several minutes. Lift times are published in advance, so tell us your arrival time and we will plan around them.

Usually, though the street is narrow and cobbled in places. A large vehicle may need to set you down at the end of the road.

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

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.

Local tips — arrive exactly where you want

  • Tower Bridge and the riverside have several possible drop-off points. Provide the hotel name, bridge entrance or exact venue to ensure the driver plans the most convenient permitted kerbside.
  • For visits to the Tower of London or Tower Bridge Exhibition, specify which entrance you prefer — some areas have pedestrianised zones that require a short walk.
  • If you’re heading on to a river cruise or dinner on the South Bank, tell us the departure time so we can allow sensible buffers for city traffic.
  • Weekend events (races, festivals, market days) can increase journey times; we’ll include realistic margins when you give us your schedule.
