The journey between Gatwick and Stratford is roughly 35 miles by road, typically via the M23 and M25. In normal conditions allow about 45–65 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day. Because your fare is fixed, a longer run on the day costs you no more than the price you were quoted.
Stratford sits roughly to the north-north-east of Gatwick. By distance across all the areas we cover from Gatwick, this route is one of the longer transfers we run from Gatwick — the 48th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Gatwick, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Stratford 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.
Stratford, in east London, is a major transport and shopping hub anchored by the Olympic Park and Westfield. London City Airport is close and Stansted is a direct run north. With fast rail links too, we handle a mix of airport runs and business travel at fixed fares.
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, Stratford lies to the north-north-east of Gatwick, a journey of around 35 miles — one of the longer transfers we run 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 Stratford 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.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
Sort out group size and luggage when you book, not on the day: four passengers and two large cases fit a saloon well, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater handles more — extra suitcases, pushchairs or sports bags included. This kind of journey sees more demand over school holidays and summer, so booking with some notice makes it easier to get the vehicle sized correctly.

A company account for corporate airport travel.
Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
A day out further afield with a private tour.
