Check-in guide for Gatwick Airport: two and a half to three hours for long-haul, two hours for Europe. Add 55 to 85 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Peckham stretches from the busy Rye Lane and Peckham Rye station to the Victorian streets around Bellenden Road and the green expanse of Peckham Rye Park, with Nunhead and East Dulwich on its edges.
Rye Lane is narrow and crowded, so for addresses on or near it we agree a pickup on a side street. The driver calls when outside.
We also cover nearby Camberwell, Nunhead, East Dulwich, New Cross, Old Kent Road, Queens Road, Honor Oak and Bermondsey.
Local tip: With a family and cases, the car avoids doubling back into London Bridge before heading south.
