The Run · a bridge south to the A23/M23

Getting from Monument to Gatwick: timing that respects the cutoff

~27 miles by road via a bridge south to the A23/M23. The honest number is a range — about 50 minutes when the roads are empty, up to 85 in the peaks — and the pickup time we agree is built on the slow end, not the brochure end.

Work backwards from the flight: bag-drop typically closes 40–60 minutes before departure — check your airline. Add the drive at 85 minutes plus a 15-minute buffer, and treat the result as a floor, not a dare — we sanity-check the pickup time against your flight when you confirm.

At the airport we drop at Gatwick North or South Terminal — your airline sets which.

Fixed means fixed: traffic, diversions and the driver’s route choice are our problem, not a surcharge. The figure you approved at booking is the figure you pay at the kerb.

Monument logistics, told straight

Bridge by the boards

London, Tower or Blackfriars — the driver takes whichever is moving to reach the A23 south. You will never be asked to pick; the fare does not care which bridge won.

Lanes too tight to wait in

Pudding Lane and Philpot Lane are no place to hold a car. We stage on the Eastcheap or Gracechurch Street corners and message the exact kerb.

The summer river-tide

Tower-bound visitors thicken Lower Thames Street on summer afternoons; the buffer for it is already inside the quote.

One booking, minute by minute

An 08:20 Gatwick departure: 05:40 pickup on Eastcheap, over London Bridge in the dark, South Terminal kerb about 06:30.
