Driving to gatwick

daveyjp

From many years of driving to West London and Gatwick from Leeds!

From Sheffield - M1, A43, M40, M25 anti clockwise, M23.

A43 is a quiet road
M1 has loads of roadworks around Luton
Less distance on M25
M40 is generally quieter than the M1

Davyjp has given the best advice. Avoid the M1 road works in the Luton area at all costs!

It is a lot better now than it was, especially northbound as the contraflow avoids the M25 junction!

Should be cleared to 3 lanes running in either direction by end of August and the j9-10 section is raised to 70mph any day now.

After 2.5 years I can't wait :T

Cant get a train because theres no trains for the time we need to return

Are you sure? Trains back from Gatwick airport are pretty much 24/7. What time does your return flight arrive back at Gatwick (and what date)? I'm happy to take a look for you and suggest a route.
