Travel notes
Good to know about The Tower to Gatwick.
Timing
The 28-mile run typically takes 1h 10–1h 40. Your driver watches live traffic and, inbound, times the pickup to your actual flight.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Combining visits
Palaces pair naturally with the towns around them — many clients add lunch or a second sight and keep the car across the day.

The set-down point is Tower Hill by the Trinity Square gardens; the entrance ramp is a short, stepless walk down towards the moat.
Getting between The Tower and Gatwick Airport
A The Tower–Gatwick Airport transfer lives or dies on the two meeting points and the fixed price. The Crown Jewels queue is shortest in the first opening hour — an early pickup from your hotel beats any fast-track ticket. Inbound, the flight is tracked and the The Tower pickup moves to your real arrival; the fare from £105 is agreed before you travel, either direction.
Reckon on 1h 10–1h 40 for the 28 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.
