Travel tips for London Bridge to Gatwick taxi

London Bridge Station area has limited parking and loading restrictions until 7pm on weekdays, so arrange pickup from nearby Tooley Street or Duke Street Hill for easier access. The area around Borough Market gets extremely busy on Friday and Saturday, so allow extra time if your pickup point is near the market.

London Bridge Quarter's new developments mean some older satnavs show incorrect pickup points, so provide specific building names or use The Shard as a reference landmark. For early morning flights, book pickup from hotels along Tooley Street rather than directly outside London Bridge Station where overnight works sometimes restrict access.

The route via A3 and M25 can face severe delays during incidents, so add 30 minutes to journey time for flights departing during weekday rush hours. Gatwick's South Terminal requires an additional 5-minute drive from North Terminal, so confirm your departure terminal when booking.
