London City Airport to Gatwick Airport, via the A102 and M23.

We run London City Airport to Gatwick transfers around the clock, with the fare settled before you travel rather than a meter running on the day. It is 40 miles by road and takes about 1 hour 17 minutes when the roads are clear. Pickups from the terminal, Canary Wharf, the Royal Docks and anywhere in east London.

The London City Airport to Gatwick route

Drivers have two options: south through the Blackwall or Silvertown tunnel to the A2 and the M25 at Junction 2, round to Junction 7 and down the M23, or through Elephant and Castle and along the A23 through Brixton and Streatham. That is 40 miles end to end, about 1 hour 17 minutes off-peak and nearer 1 hour 43 minutes when the network is busy.
Both routes cross the river in the same place, and both funnel onto the M23 at the end. The motorway version is longer but usually quicker outside rush hour.

Getting into Gatwick Airport

M23 Junction 9 serves both terminals, with the split signed on the approach road.
The Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels have been chargeable since April 2025, with a lower off-peak rate and free passage overnight. We factor the crossing into your fixed fare.
