Clapham Minicabs cover the SW4 postcode around Clapham Common and Clapham High Street, one of the busier parts of south London for evening and weekend traffic. Good access to the A3 and A23 means the airport routes from here are usually more direct than the local road traffic might first suggest.
Heathrow from Clapham typically takes 35 to 45 minutes off-peak via the A3 and A316, or the A4 depending on conditions. It's a manageable cross-town run, though weekend evenings around the Common can add unplanned time getting out of Clapham itself, particularly when there's an event drawing crowds to the park.
Gatwick is Clapham's most direct major airport — usually 35 to 45 minutes via the A23 and M23, one of the more reliable south London routes we offer, since it largely avoids central London congestion entirely.
Luton and Stansted both mean longer cross-London journeys via the M25, typically 60 to 70 minutes, quoted as flight-tracked fixed prices given how much the exact time depends on the M25 on the day. London City is workable via the A3 and South Circular for business travel, and usually the quickest of the less direct options.
Every quote is fixed at booking, and because the Gatwick route is so direct, that particular journey is usually one of our more competitively priced fixed fares from this part of London. The same fixed-price principle applies to every other airport we serve from Clapham.
On arrivals we track your flight and meet you inside the terminal, adjusting automatically for early or late landings at no extra charge, whichever airport you're returning from.
Saloons suit most solo and two-passenger Gatwick trips well, while estates and MPVs are more common for family groups or the longer Luton and Stansted runs, where the extra boot space makes more difference given the length of the journey.
This makes particular sense for regular Gatwick travellers — the A23/M23 link is one of the more direct airport routes in our whole coverage area, and that reliability carries real value for anyone catching an early flight. It's also useful for anyone splitting time between Clapham and Brixton, since both fall within easy reach of the same route.
