Rather than crossing south London, the driver heads west to the M4, then takes the M25 south to the M23 for Gatwick. It is longer in miles but usually quicker.
By rail it is the Elizabeth line from Acton Main Line to Farringdon and then Thameslink to Gatwick.
By public transport: Elizabeth line to Farringdon, then Thameslink to Gatwick, about 75–90 min. The catch is going into central London and a change with luggage. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 60 min, or 95 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
Out of Acton (W3) the route runs west to the M4, then the M25 south to the M23. Coming back from Gatwick the driver follows the M23, the M25 and the M4 back to Acton. That is about 44 miles: reckon 60 min off-peak and 95 min when the M25 between the M4 and the M23 is busy.
