Streatham Minicabs cover the SW16 postcode around Streatham High Road, Streatham Common and the ice rink. This is one of the longer high streets in south London, and its bus lanes and pedestrian crossings genuinely affect how quickly a driver can get clear of the area at busy times, so we plan pickups here with that in mind rather than assuming every part of SW16 clears equally fast at all times.
Heathrow from Streatham typically takes 40 to 50 minutes off-peak via the A23, A214 and A316, or the A3 depending on which is running better that day. It's a manageable cross-town journey rather than a short local hop, and our drivers generally favour the A214 route for its steadier traffic flow compared with cutting through Tooting.
Gatwick is Streatham's more direct major airport — usually 35 to 45 minutes via the A23 and M23, avoiding most of central London's congestion by heading straight south. This tends to be the more reliable of the two major airport runs from SW16, particularly for early departures.
Luton and Stansted both mean longer cross-London journeys via the M25, typically 65 to 75 minutes, and we quote these as flight-tracked fixed prices given how much the exact time can shift with M25 traffic. London City is workable via the A23 and South Circular for business travellers, usually the quicker of the less direct options.
Every quote is fixed the moment you book, and because the Gatwick run is so direct from Streatham, that particular journey is usually priced more competitively than the longer Heathrow, Luton and Stansted runs. There's no surcharge for the exact pickup point along the high street.
On arrivals we track your flight and meet you inside the terminal, adjusting the pickup automatically for early or late landings at no extra charge, whichever of the airports you're returning from.
Saloons cover most solo and two-passenger Gatwick trips well, while estates and MPVs suit family groups or the longer Luton and Stansted runs, where the extra luggage 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 routes we offer anywhere in south London, and that reliability matters most for early morning departures when there's less room for the journey to go wrong. It also helps that our drivers know the length of Streatham High Road well enough to time the exit from it accurately.
