Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice 2026Gatwick to Croydon in one direct journey
Gatwick is roughly 18 miles from Croydon. By road, allow around 25–35 minutes in typical conditions via the M23 and A23, one of our shorter routes from the airport.
Direct trains run from Gatwick to East Croydon, a major South London rail hub, and the journey by rail is often quick for a light, solo traveller. A private transfer becomes more useful once you have luggage, are travelling as a group, or need to reach a specific office or home address.

A direct route for South London business and residential addresses
Croydon is one of South London’s largest business districts, home to a substantial amount of office space, as well as residential areas across the wider borough.
A pre-booked car removes the need to find your own way from East Croydon station to a specific office, business park or home address. You have one pickup, one vehicle and one destination, with your luggage travelling with you throughout.
Heading to an office or business park?
Book the full business address and travel directly from your Gatwick terminal.
Returning home to Croydon?
Give us your full home address rather than making East Croydon station your final stop.
Travelling with several bags?
Choose a vehicle with enough passenger and luggage capacity when you book.
On a tight meeting schedule?
Allow sufficient road-travel time for traffic rather than treating the journey estimate as a guaranteed arrival time.

Pickup from South or North terminal
Tell us your flight number when booking so your arrival terminal is clear before the day of travel.

For terminal pickup arrangements and transfers to other destinations, explore our Gatwick Airport transfer services.
South Terminal
Gatwick’s original terminal, directly connected to the airport’s railway station.
North Terminal
Gatwick’s second terminal. There is no railway station here, reaching one means using the free inter-terminal shuttle to South Terminal first.
