Local knowledge
Good to know about Greenwich to Gatwick.
At the Greenwich end
Set-down at the Cutty Sark works for the town and the college; for the Observatory itself we drive to Blackheath Gate and spare you the park climb.
Timing
The 29-mile run typically takes 1h 15–1h 45. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
Timed-entry reality
Most big sights now run timed tickets. We build the drop-off around your slot so the queue you join is for the door, not a taxi rank half a mile away.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
The Greenwich–Gatwick transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Set-down at the Cutty Sark works for the town and the college; for the Observatory itself we drive to Blackheath Gate and spare you the park climb. At Gatwick Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 29-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 1h 15–1h 45 for the 29 miles, with 60 minutes of complimentary waiting and every toll, plus the London charges where they apply, inside the fare. Vehicles run from a saloon to a sixteen-seat minibus, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
