Pickup in Lilliput
Lilliput sits on the northern edge of Poole Harbour, just inland from Sandbanks — sharing the same premium postcode cachet without the peninsula's access complications. Pickup logistics here are simpler than Sandbanks proper: direct access via the Sandbanks Road corridor, and you avoid the chain ferry queues entirely. The name comes from a now-vanished amusement garden, but today Lilliput is a quiet enclave of substantial homes, the Royal Motor Yacht Club and a handful of harbourside restaurants around Salterns Marina. Several properties here sit behind private gates or on unnamed private drives, so a precise meeting point matters — we always confirm the exact access detail in advance. Being just off the Sandbanks Road means a fast escape east via the A35, with no peninsula single-road bottleneck to clear.
What's in the fare
Meet and greet at Gatwick (all 2 terminals), an hour after landing, drop-off fees and tolls. Child seats if you asked. The number on this page is the number you pay from the core towns — extras only if you add stops or land well outside that hour.

Planning your Lilliput to Gatwick trip
The Lilliput to Gatwick run is 101 miles and around 112 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.
The route
From Lilliput we take the A31 onto the M27, then the M3 and the M25 to Gatwick. The motorway is the clock, not the peninsula — except in summer, when getting off Sandbanks can eat the first twenty minutes. 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.
- Pack a phone charger for the long run — a flat phone at terminal drop-off is the most common travel hiccup.
- Booking your Lilliput → Gatwick return at the same time as your outbound usually saves money and guarantees your return driver knows your address.
