Taxi to Gatwick?

Hi all

Anyone know roughly how much a cab would be from Sydenham to Gatwick at about 4.30am-ish?

Hi,

I paid £33 to Gatwick using the cab office just outside Sydenham station.

Thanks mysti. Just booking a short trip away and trying to decide on afternoon vs morning flight, and parking at airport versus taxi!

Thanks Jessie.

Totally agree, Rome is fabulous. Boyfriend and I were meant to be going to Sicily for a week but he broke his foot, so I'm deserting him for a few days in Milan with a friend instead...

I paid £28 at a similar sort of time a few months ago; that was with Sydenham Cars.

Taxi to Croydon and catch an onward train from there is an option if you need to save a few £, although if it is really only £30 or so for a cab to Gatwick, then it might be worth it for the convenience - you'll pay half that to get to Croydon, then you have to add train tickets on top of that.

Or the cheapest way which takes a bit longer is the 75 bus to East Croydon on your Oyster card. The bus runs 4.30am till 1.30am and the trains from East Croydon are 24hrs. Total cost about 8 Quid.

Sorry if I'm being thick here... so the bus runs all the time except for the gap between 1.30am and 4.30am? My flight's at 7.15am so I'll need to calculate the travel time, but that might just work....
