About Gatwick Airport
Gatwick is served by the M23 and the M25 and by direct rail services into central London, but a pre-booked car is often simpler when you have luggage, children, an early flight or a destination that is not on a direct line. For arrivals, add your flight number so your driver can track your landing.
Planning your pickup from The O2 Arena
- Enter the exact pickup address or postcode in The O2 Arena, and the exact drop-off at Gatwick Airport, so the fare is calculated for your real journey.
