From Halfway, London Gatwick is about 56 miles by road, usually 1 hr 5 – 1 hr 25 door to terminal. It's the second-closest of the 12 airports we serve from Halfway. That's around 5 minutes quicker than from Sheerness, because Halfway is closer to the Sheppey Crossing.
The usual route is the A249, M20, M26, M25 and M23. There's no Thames crossing on this route, which makes the journey time more predictable.
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, linked by a free shuttle train, so check which one your airline uses before you travel. Because the route avoids the Dartford Crossing, Gatwick journey times are among the most predictable of any London airport.
