From Warden, London Gatwick is about 61 miles by road, usually 1 hr 15 – 1 hr 35 door to terminal. It's the second-closest of the 12 airports we serve from Warden. That's around 5 minutes longer than from Sheerness, because Warden is further east on the island.
The usual route is the A2500, 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.
