The journey between Gatwick and Richmond is roughly 28 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25.

Richmond sits roughly to the north-north-west of Gatwick. By distance across all the areas we cover from Gatwick, this route is among the closest areas we cover from Gatwick — the 19th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Gatwick, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Richmond against a nearby postcode for the same trip.
Distance and time are approximate, measured by road and intended as a guide only. For airport pickups we track your flight and time the journey to your landing, building in extra for traffic so you are not left waiting.
Gatwick lies to the south of London off the M23, with separate North and South terminals linked by a shuttle. It is the natural choice for south London and the South Coast, and we plan the run around the M23 and M25.
Richmond is a sought-after riverside borough in south-west London, known for its park, the Thames and village feel. Heathrow is close to the west, making airport runs quick and direct. We provide fixed-fare transfers from Richmond, with executive cars available for business travel.
In everyday London speech, people say “taxi” for almost any hired car, but a licensed minicab is legally distinct from a black cab: it cannot be hailed on the street and must be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle separately licensed for private hire. A pre-booked transfer like this one works on exactly that basis — agreed in advance, licensed throughout, with the fare fixed before you travel. On this specific route, Richmond lies to the north-north-west of Gatwick, a journey of around 28 miles — among the closest areas we cover from Gatwick compared with our other Gatwick routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
Traffic around Gatwick to Richmond builds fastest on weekday mornings and early evenings, when commuters share the M23 and M25 with airport and local traffic. A journey before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday is when it is worth allowing extra time; outside those windows, and at weekends, the roads are usually calmer. Either way, our drivers build a buffer into every pickup so a slow patch of traffic does not turn into a rushed one.
We agree the exact pickup point with you before the day, so there is nothing to work out when you travel, and any airport leg has the flight tracked so timing follows your real schedule rather than the printed one. Build in the normal airport steps around the drive — check-in and security outbound, passport control and baggage on arrival — both covered by the waiting time already included in your fare.
It helps to flag your group size and luggage when you book rather than on the day — a saloon comfortably takes four passengers and two large cases, and an estate, MPV or 8-seater covers anything bigger, from extra suitcases to pushchairs. Demand for this kind of trip tends to rise in school holidays and over summer, so an earlier booking makes it easier to lock in the vehicle you need.
