Pickup in Moordown

For the Gatwick run: Moordown sits further up Wimborne Road from Winton, more residential, fewer students, and a slightly cleaner run onto the A347 toward Redhill and the A338. Pickups are mostly family houses off Castle Road, The Grove and the streets behind the high street. It is one of the less dramatic Bournemouth neighbourhoods, which is exactly why it works for airport transfers: no seafront one-way, no hotel forecourt, no ferry. The only regular delay is the Wimborne Road lights at school time. For Heathrow we are usually on the Spur within ten minutes of leaving the drive.

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: Residential pin on a side road off Wimborne Road. School-run lights are the only local delay; early pickups skip them entirely.

The route

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