Local Knowledge on This Route
M23 up to the M25, clockwise past Heathrow, then the M1 north. Two pinch points rather than one: the M25 around the Heathrow junctions, and then the M25/M1 interchange. Either can add half an hour; both can add an hour. The western M25 is generally more predictable than the eastern side, so this route is steadier than the equivalent run to Stansted despite similar distance.
Meet-and-Greet and Pickup
Your chauffeur meets you at Gatwick North or South arrivals, or in Luton's single arrivals hall. Luton's forecourt charge is inside the fixed fare.
