About the LHR to LGW route
Traveling from Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Gatwick Airport (LGW) is a straightforward journey of approximately 50 km. The trip generally takes around 55 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. The route typically involves taking the M25 motorway, a major circular expressway that encircles Greater London. Drivers often head southeast from Heathrow, joining the M25 at Junction 14, and then proceed south to exit at Junction 7 for the M23, which leads directly to Gatwick Airport.
