Pickup in Creekmoor

For the Gatwick run: Creekmoor sits on the north side of Poole, built around the retail park on Fleets Lane and the housing off Creekmoor Lane. It is one of the cleaner Poole starts for a London airport run because you never touch the Old Town one-way or the bridges: the A349 runs north to the A31 at Merley within a few minutes of any BH17 address here. Pickups are residential and straightforward — most houses have a drive — though the retail-park roundabout backs up on Saturday mornings, so we avoid collecting from the Tesco side if we can meet on the estate instead. Upton Country Park is on the western edge; those addresses still count as Creekmoor for routing even if the sat-nav says Upton.

Planning your Creekmoor to Gatwick trip

The Creekmoor to Gatwick run is 98 miles and around 107 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: Meet on the house drive or a side road off Creekmoor Lane — not the Fleets Lane retail roundabout on a Saturday.

The route

From Creekmoor 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 Creekmoor pickup.
• Pack a phone charger for the long run from Creekmoor — a flat phone at Gatwick drop-off is the most common travel hiccup.
• Booking your Creekmoor → Gatwick return at the same time as your outbound usually saves money and guarantees your return driver knows your address.
