Airport transfers · both directions
Gatwick is the furthest London airport from N16, but one fixed £130 saloon fare covers the whole trip, in either direction. Expect around 33 miles and 70–105 minutes, straight down the A10 and the A23 to the M23.
A taxi from Stamford Hill to Gatwick Airport is £130 in a saloon, £145 in a 6-seat MPV and £155 in an 8-seater. It is about 33 miles and 70 min off-peak, or 105 min in traffic. The same fixed fares apply from Gatwick back to Stamford Hill, and every price covers airport charges, flight tracking, waiting time and your luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Stamford Hill → Gatwick | Gatwick → Stamford Hill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases | from £130 | from £130 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £145 | from £145 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £155 | from £155 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Airport drop-off and pick-up charges, tolls and waiting after landing are inside the price, and it does not change on the day. Book both directions together and the return is 10% off.
By public transport, Gatwick means the Overground or Tube into central London, then the Gatwick Express or Thameslink south, which is two or three changes with luggage. For a family that is hard work, especially on the way home after a long flight.
Our drivers take the A10 south through the City to the A23 and M23, or swing round the M25 when central London is gridlocked. Both North and South terminals are covered, and your flight number tells us which one.
By public transport: Train from Stamford Hill (Overground) into central London, then Gatwick Express or Thameslink, about 90–120 min. The catch is two or three changes and a cross-London transfer with cases. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 70 min, or 105 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
Out of Stamford Hill (N16) the route runs south down the A10 through the City to the A23 and M23. Coming back from Gatwick the driver follows M23 and A23 north, then up the A10 through Shoreditch to Stamford Hill. That is about 33 miles: reckon 70 min off-peak and 105 min when the A10 through the City and the A23 at Streatham is busy.
Your driver waits in the arrivals area of the North or South Terminal with a name board. Tell us your flight number and we set the right terminal.
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board. Coming home, most of the delay is north of the river, so allow the upper end of 105 minutes on weekday evenings and Friday afternoons.
Gatwick runs are the ones to leave extra room for. The A10 through Shoreditch and the City, and the A23 through Streatham, are both slow in the morning rush. For a 10:00 departure we would normally suggest collecting you from Stamford Hill between 05:00 and 05:30.
Check-in guide for Gatwick Airport: three hours for Tel Aviv, two and a half hours for Europe. Add 70 to 105 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Stamford Hill is home to the largest Charedi community in Europe. Families here fly often for chasunas, Yom Tov, yeshiva and seminary, and business in Israel, Antwerp and New York, usually with more children and more cases than a standard taxi can take.
We plan around that: 8 and 9 seaters for big families, pickups from Clapton Common, Amhurst Park, Egerton Road, Cazenove Road and every street in N16, and arrival times planned back from Shabbat.
Local tip: If you are landing at Gatwick on a Friday in winter, choose the earliest flight you can. The drive north through London can be slow after 14:00, and we would rather tell you early than risk a close finish before Shabbat.
