Gatwick to London: typical journey
Road distance is roughly 28 miles from the airport to Westminster; allow 45–75 minutes by car in normal traffic. Friday evening outbound and Sunday evening inbound peaks can add time — build buffer before airline check-in deadlines.
For groups of three or four with luggage, one MPV often beats multiple train tickets plus staircases at Victoria.
