Pickup in Burton

For the Gatwick run: Burton is the village on the north bank of the Stour, across from Christchurch, along Salisbury Road and the closes off it. It is still BH23, but you do not want a Priory-side meeting point: we collect in the village and join the A35 via Fairmile or Somerford depending on the airport. London runs from Burton are typically a few minutes quicker than from Poole because you are already on the east side of the conurbation. The village roads are fine for an estate; some lanes toward Winkton are not. If you are actually in Winkton or Sopley, say so — those are quoted from Burton, not as Christchurch High Street.

Planning your Burton to Gatwick trip

The Burton to Gatwick run is 92 miles and around 100 minutes off-peak. For London airports the M25 is the main variable: Friday afternoons, Sunday evenings and school-holiday start days can add 30-45 minutes. We always recommend a pickup time when you book, factoring in the day of the week and current M25 conditions. Pickup: Village drive on the north side of the Stour, not Castle Square. Winkton and Sopley need their own pin.

The route

From Burton we take the A31 onto the M27, with the usual build-up around Cadnam, then the M3 and the M25 to Gatwick. Your driver confirms the terminal from the booking, not from guesswork.

Tips for this journey

• Gatwick has two terminals (North and South) connected by a free shuttle — confirm which one on your boarding pass before the Burton pickup.
• Pack a phone charger for the long run from Burton — a flat phone at Gatwick drop-off is the most common travel hiccup.
• Booking your Burton → Gatwick return at the same time as your outbound usually saves money and guarantees your return driver knows your address.
