Taxi from ED to Gatwick


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...

Used Mason & Green for the first time in June for a Gatwick Airport drop off and pick up thanks to recommendations on this thread.


Internet booking and subsequent email confirmation was easy. Early morning pick up (330am) driver turned up 15 minutes early. Child seats are provided free of charge and were already fitted.


Cars were clean and modern and drivers were polite and knowledgeable. The driver on the return leg even put some nursery rhymes on for our toddler who was getting grouchy after too long sitting down.


I'll def be using them again.

I'm currently at Heathrow (not Gatwick, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable thread...) with my wife and 20 month old son. We're waiting for Airport Direct. This is worrying as AD were 40 minutes late picking us up on the way here last week, and, what's far worse, they lied to us several times about the driver's location.

We are really disappointed as we have been using this company for many years without incident. In January however they cancelled one of the two cars we ordered, assuming it was a duplicate booking, and without bothering to check! I wonder if AD are under new management. Certainly their previous high standards have slipped badly.

Thanks to those people who have made recommendations on this thread. Needless to say, we shall not be using Airport Direct again!

I hate to say it (as its not a local business) but Uber works very well getting to and from all London airports now. No pre booking but each time I land there's been one at pick up area in under 5 mins. Yesterday's fare from SE22 to Heathrow T5 was just 42 quid...and it was a new hybrid limo!

    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
    • Licensing application for 2026 has gone in and they want to extend the event from 4 to 7 days accross two weekends.  There are some proposed significant changes to be aware of:   Event proposal moves to two separate weekends Number of days of the festival moves from 4 to 7 meaning also a change in the original licence is required Expected footfall in the park over the two weekends around 60,000.    Dear Peckham Rye Park Stakeholder,   Re: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION – event application: ‘GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’ – ref: SWKEVE000935   We are writing to you because you have previously identified yourself as someone who wishes to be informed about event applications for Peckham Rye Park, or we think that you might have an interest in knowing about this particular event application.   Please be aware that the council are in receipt of an event application for: GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’   In line with the council’s Outdoor Events Policy and events application process we are carrying out consultation regarding this application.   The following reference documents are attached to this email:   Consultation information APPENDIX A – site plan weekend 1 APPENDIX B – site plan weekend 2 APPENDIX C – Production Schedule APPENDIX D – 2025 Noise Management Plan   The consultation is open from Tuesday 4 November and will close at midnight on Tuesday 2 December 2025   Community engagement sessions will take place on Wednesday 19 November.   If you would like to comment on application: SWKEVE000935 and take part in the online consultation, please visit:   www.southwark.gov.uk/GALA2026   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.     Kind Regards, Southwark Events Team Environment and Leisure PO Box 64529 London SE1P 5LX 020 7525 3639 @SouthwarkEvents APPENDIX A - SITE PLAN weekend 1.pdf APPENDIX B - SITE PLAN weekend 2.pdf APPENDIX C - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf And just to add that councillor Renata Hamvas chairs the licensing committee.
