Fixed-price Sevenoaks airport taxi and cab service to all six London airports. Gatwick from £58 (24 miles, 30–40 min), Heathrow from £88 (47 miles, 50–65 min), London City from £72 (32 miles, 45–60 min), Stansted from £115, Luton from £125, Southend from £78. Every airport drop-off charge included. No surge at 4am. Named driver confirmed. TfL PCO licensed. Covers Sevenoaks town, Westerham, Edenbridge, Otford, Borough Green, Wrotham, Halstead, Oxted and all surrounding villages.
Gatwick is 24 miles from Sevenoaks — down the A21 to M25 J5, then onto the M23. At 4am or 5am when most people are heading to catch a flight, the road is empty. Front door to terminal in 30–40 minutes. From £58, the £10 drop-off already inside that number. North or South terminal — same price.
Heathrow is 47 miles — anticlockwise on the M25 then the M4. Off-peak it is 50–65 minutes. The M4 slows down from about 07:00 on weekdays, so early pickups run cleaner. From £88, £7 drop-off inside that, same fare whether you are going to T2, T3, T4 or T5.
London City is the quiet one — 32 miles via the A225 and A20, from £72 with the £8 drop-off included. 45–60 minutes. The airport is small. Security at 07:30 takes about 8 minutes. If you are flying to Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Dublin or Geneva on a business trip, it is worth checking whether your route goes from City rather than defaulting to Heathrow.
The drop-off charge is in the fare. Gatwick £10, Heathrow £7, Stansted £10, London City £8 — all already in the number shown when you book. Nothing gets added at the airport. Enter your Sevenoaks postcode for an instant confirmed fare.

Every Airport from Sevenoaks — Route, Time, Drop-Off and Which to Choose
M25 Route Guide from Sevenoaks to Every Airport — Junctions, Timing and Peak Advice
Sevenoaks is basically at M25 junction 5. That one on-ramp covers most of these journeys. South for Gatwick, anticlockwise west for Heathrow, clockwise east past Dartford for Stansted. London City skips the M25 almost entirely and goes straight via the A20. Each route handles peak traffic differently.
| Airport | M25 exit | Onward road | Total miles | Peak timing note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gatwick (LGW) | M25 J5 → south on A21, then M23 J9/J10 | M23 south | 24 miles | M25 J5–J7 clear most times · M23 rarely delays |
| Heathrow (LHR) | M25 anticlockwise → J15 → M4 west | M4 J4/J4A | 47 miles | M25 J5→J15 anticlockwise · M4 J4-J3 slow 07:00–09:30 |
| London City (LCY) | A225 north from Sevenoaks → A20 west → A2 | A20 → A2 → DLR route | 32 miles | A20 Sidcup slow 07:30–09:00 · avoid A2 J2 peak |
| Stansted (STN) | M25 clockwise → J27 → M11 north J8 | M11 to STN | 60 miles | M25 J5→J27 clockwise · Dartford Crossing peak slow · allow 90 min 06–09 |
| Luton (LTN) | M25 clockwise → M25 J21A → M1 north J10 | M1 J10 → A1081 | 72 miles | M1 J10→J9 slow AM peak · allow 100 min before 09:00 |
| Southend (SEN) | A225 → A20 east → A127 east | A127 to Southend | 46 miles | A20/A127 clear most times · allow 65 min peak |
Stansted — Dartford Crossing and M25 J27 from Sevenoaks
Stansted is the long one from Sevenoaks — 60 miles clockwise on the M25, past Dartford, then north on the M11. The Dartford Crossing is the variable. Between 06:00 and 09:00 it can add 20–30 minutes. At 04:00 it is empty and Sevenoaks to Stansted takes under 65 minutes. For a 06:00 Ryanair, pickup at 03:30 at the latest.
Heathrow — M25 Anticlockwise from Junction 5
From J5 the M25 goes anticlockwise — past Orpington, past the A20, all the way west to J15 where the M4 picks up. T4 comes off at J3 on the M4; T2, T3 and T5 are further in at J4/J4A. That section of the M4 between those two junctions is slow from 07:00 on weekday mornings. Flights needing a pre-07:00 drop-off — a 04:30 or 05:00 pickup from Sevenoaks gets you there with roads still clear.
Sevenoaks Train vs Taxi to Airport — Honest Comparison Per Route
Sevenoaks trains to London Bridge take 28–35 minutes, which is fine. The problem is that none of them continue to an airport. Every route means getting into London then switching to something else. That adds at least one platform change, and usually means dragging luggage through a busy station at 5am. Here is what each option actually involves.
| Airport | Train route from Sevenoaks | Train time | Train cost pp | Taxi (saloon) | Taxi time | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gatwick | Sevenoaks → London Bridge → Thameslink Gatwick Express | ~65 min + change | From £14 pp | £58 (1–4 pax) | 30–40 min | Train for solo · Taxi for 2+ or early flights |
| Heathrow | Sevenoaks → London Bridge → Tube Jubilee/Piccadilly → LHR | ~90 min + 2 changes | From £18 pp | £88 | 50–65 min | Taxi wins for 2+ passengers and any luggage |
| London City | Sevenoaks → Cannon St → DLR Bank → LCY | ~70 min + 2 changes | From £12 pp | £72 | 45–60 min | Train viable for solo with hand luggage only |
| Stansted | Sevenoaks → London Bridge → Liverpool St → Stansted Express | ~100 min + 2 changes | From £28 pp | £115 | 70–90 min | Taxi wins for 2+ pax — same cost as 2 train tickets |
| Luton | Sevenoaks → St Pancras → Thameslink Luton Airport Pkwy | ~90 min + 1 change | From £18 pp | £125 | 80–100 min | Train competitive for 1–2 pax with light luggage |
| Southend | Sevenoaks → London Bridge → Liverpool St → Southend | ~90 min + 2 changes | From £22 pp | £78 | 50–70 min | Taxi faster and better for luggage |
Sevenoaks Train vs Taxi to Gatwick — The Honest Numbers
One person with a carry-on: take the train at £14. Two people with bags: £29 each in the taxi, door to terminal, half the time. Three people: £19.33 each in the taxi against roughly £42 for three train tickets — taxi is cheaper and the car goes directly there. Four people: £14.50 each. The M25/M23 run to Gatwick takes 30–40 minutes versus 65-plus minutes on the train with a change at London Bridge.
Sevenoaks Villages and Areas — All TN13, TN14, TN15, TN16, TN8 and RH8 Postcodes
Not just Sevenoaks town. The whole TN13, TN14, TN15, TN16 area — plus Edenbridge TN8 and Oxted RH8 on the southern edges. Same pricing structure wherever you are. Type your postcode in and the price comes back instantly.
Villages close to the M25 — Dunton Green, Riverhead, Westerham, Knockholt, West Kingsdown — often have shorter journey times to airports than the town centre itself, because the M25 on-ramp is nearby. Westerham (TN16), for example, is 2 minutes from M25 J6, which cuts the Heathrow run to approximately 45–55 minutes rather than the 50–65 from the town centre.
Edenbridge and Oxted — at the southern edge of the coverage area — are equally served. Edenbridge to Gatwick is approximately 15 miles via the B2026 and M23, often faster than the route from Sevenoaks town itself. Oxted to Gatwick is similarly close at approximately 18 miles.
7 Seater Taxi from Sevenoaks to Airport — Group and Family Rates
A 7 seater taxi from Sevenoaks — Ford Galaxy or VW Sharan — takes up to 7 people with their cases in one vehicle. One booking, one driver, one pickup. Nobody has to get a second car or meet somewhere separately. The Sevenoaks group airport taxi price covers the whole vehicle.
| Airport | Saloon (1–4 pax) | 7-seater (1–7 pax) | Per head (7 pax) | vs 7 train tickets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gatwick | £58 | £82 | £11.71 | Saves ~£16 vs 7 trains |
| Heathrow | £88 | £112 | £16.00 | Saves vs 7 underground tickets |
| London City | £72 | £95 | £13.57 | DLR + train = complex for group |
| Stansted | £115 | £142 | £20.29 | 7 Stansted Express tickets £196+ |
| Luton | £125 | £155 | £22.14 | 7 Thameslink tickets via London £200+ |
Early Morning Airport Taxi from Sevenoaks — 03:30, 04:00, 04:30 Pickups
Most flights from Gatwick leave between 06:00 and 08:30. That means airport by 04:00 to 06:00, pickup from Sevenoaks at 03:15 to 05:00. It is early. The upside is the roads are empty.
| Airport | Flight departs | Pickup from Sevenoaks | Reason |

Sevenoaks Airport Taxi & Cabs — What to Look For When Booking
A few operators cover airport runs from Sevenoaks. The difference usually comes down to four things: is the price actually locked at booking or just an estimate that can change on the day? Are the airport drop-off charges inside the fare or added at the end? How long do they wait on arrivals? And what licence does the driver hold?
| Factor | Gatwick Taxi Transfer | Local Sevenoaks firms | App-based (Uber/Bolt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price confirmed at booking | ✓ Fixed — never changes | Often estimated | Surge — changes constantly |
| Drop-off charge included | ✓ All airports included | Usually added on day | Added post-trip |

| Child seats free | ✓ All types, free | Varies | Extra charge |
Why Local Sevenoaks Taxi Firms May Not Cover All Airports
Beeline, Oaks Taxis, Skyline, A21 Cars — these are Kent-licensed operators. A Kent private hire licence covers the district the operator is registered in. It does not give the same blanket authorisation to work inside Heathrow's controlled zones or across all London boroughs that a TfL licence provides. Gatwick Taxi Transfer holds a TfL PCO licence, which covers every pickup and drop-off at every London airport with no jurisdiction gaps.
