Worth knowing
Good to know about The IWM to Gatwick.
Worth knowing
The Holocaust galleries need ninety unhurried minutes — plan them first and the airframes after, not the reverse.
Exhibition days
Blockbuster shows run timed tickets; match the pickup to your slot and spend the spare minutes in the permanent rooms, not the foyer.

The The IWM–Gatwick transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Lambeth Road passes the museum’s park frontage — set-down at the gates puts the great guns dead ahead. At Gatwick Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 25-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 1h 05–1h 30 for the 25 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 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
