Why Winchester flyers still use Gatwick
Gatwick is further from Winchester than Heathrow — about 72 miles and 85 minutes by road — but it carries many of the holiday and short-haul flights that Heathrow does not. For a family heading to the Mediterranean or the Canary Islands, Gatwick is often the airport with the right flight.
The trip home is cross-country: west from Gatwick round the M25 to the M3, or through Surrey on the A-roads. Either way it avoids central London, which is why a car is so much simpler than the train.
Gatwick to Winchester: car or train?
Train figures are typical; there is no direct service, so every rail journey includes a change.
| Option | Journey time | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Hampshire Taxi (fixed fare) | About 1 hour 25 minutes | From £161 for the car; met at North or South Terminal and driven to your door |
| Train with one change | Around 1½ hours at best; often 2½ hours | At least one change on the way, then the walk or taxi from Winchester station to your address |
For one person with a small bag in the daytime, the train can be cheaper. For a family with holiday luggage, or a late-evening landing, the car is usually the better choice.
