Directions

Gatwick is 28 miles (45km) south of London, linked directly to the M23 at Junction 9 and to the A23 London-Brighton road.

The M25 London orbital motorway is a ten-minute drive away (Junction 7), providing connections to the national road and motorway network.

If you are using a satellite navigation system here are some useful postcodes:

Use the AA Route Planner to find directions to and from the airport.

Drop-off and pick-up

Drivers may set passengers down in the designated areas on the terminal forecourts. However, for security reasons there is a strict no-waiting policy on the forecourt. If you wish to accompany passengers into the terminal you must use the Short Stay Car Park.

If you are picking passengers up from the airport, you must use the Short Stay Car Park. Car Park 3 (South Terminal) operates a special tariff of 15 minutes' parking for £1.
