Airport transfers from West Norwood
West Norwood is on the right side of London for Gatwick, which is a straightforward run down the A23 and M23. Heathrow takes longer because it means crossing the capital, either on the South Circular or round the M25, so we usually recommend allowing extra time for morning flights.
