Travel tips for Greenwich to Gatwick taxi

Greenwich has several parking restrictions around the town centre, so arrange pickup from your hotel or accommodation rather than meeting elsewhere. The area near Greenwich station and the Cutty Sark gets particularly busy during weekends when tourists visit the Royal Observatory and National Maritime Museum.

For pickups near Greenwich Market or the Royal Naval College, specify exact building numbers as many period buildings look similar. Traffic often builds up on the A2 approach from Greenwich, so allow extra time for departures during weekday rush hours. Your driver can use local knowledge of side roads through Blackheath and Lee to avoid the worst congestion.

Early morning flights from Gatwick mean pickups around 3-4am from Greenwich. The roads are clearest at these times, but notify your accommodation about the early pickup to avoid any access issues with building security.
