The The National Gallery–Gatwick transfer
This route joins a venue and a transport hub, and both ends have their own rules. Trafalgar Square’s north side is closed to cars; set-down on Pall Mall East by the Sainsbury Wing is the practised move. At Gatwick Airport, your driver meets you in arrivals with the flight tracked — so the 27-mile run between them is the easy part.
Reckon on 1h 10–1h 35 for the 27 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.
