Check-in guide for Gatwick Airport: two and a half to three hours for long-haul, two hours for Europe. Add 80 to 115 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Muswell Hill is built around the Edwardian parades of the Broadway, with Alexandra Palace and its park to the east, Highgate Wood and Queen's Wood to the south-west and quiet residential streets towards Fortis Green and Cranley Gardens.
Muswell Hill has no Tube station and is on a steep hill, so the car is often the easiest way to the airport. The roundabout at the Broadway is busy, so the driver will stop on your street.
We also cover nearby Crouch End, Fortis Green, Highgate, East Finchley, Hornsey, Alexandra Park, Wood Green and Bounds Green.
Local tip: Gatwick is the furthest airport from Muswell Hill. Stansted and Luton are both under half the drive, so compare flights if you can.
