Kentish Town has Thameslink trains that run straight through central London to Gatwick. For one traveller with a light bag it is a very convenient route.
The car suits families and heavy luggage. The driver heads south through Camden, Euston and Holborn, over Blackfriars Bridge and down the A23 to the M23.
By public transport: Thameslink from Kentish Town direct to Gatwick, about 55–70 min. The catch is busy commuter trains with little luggage space. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 75 min, or 110 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
Out of Kentish Town (NW5) the route runs south through Camden, Euston and Holborn, over Blackfriars Bridge and down the A23 to the M23.

Check-in guide for Gatwick Airport: two and a half to three hours for long-haul, two hours for Europe. Add 75 to 110 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Kentish Town runs north from Camden along Kentish Town Road towards Tufnell Park and the southern edge of Hampstead Heath, with long Victorian terraces, mansion flats around Dartmouth Park and a lively high street with The Forum at its heart.
We collect from any address in NW5. Kentish Town Road is busy with buses, so for flats on the main road the driver may wait in a side street and call when outside.
We also cover nearby Camden Town, Tufnell Park, Gospel Oak, Dartmouth Park, Highgate, Belsize Park, Chalk Farm and Holloway.
Local tip: Thameslink trains are often busy through central London at rush hour. With several cases, the car avoids standing in a packed carriage.
