Histon to Gatwick
From a front door in Histon to the Gatwick drop-off. By road that means 1 hour 37 minutes and 101.0 miles, the M11 and M25 doing most of the work. North Terminal 92 min, South Terminal 96 min: check which one your airline uses. The return is much the same, 1 hour 37 minutes. Stansted is 33 minutes nearer, but the airline and the flight decide the airport. One Histon landmark is The Olde House, listed Grade II*. Waterbeach is the closest railway station to Histon, 13 minutes by car. Gatwick's North Terminal opened in 1988.
How the day runs
You are collected from the village itself, not a station or a car park. A luxury people-carrier suits a family and the luggage. For an early departure, the chauffeur works back from your check-in time and a drive of 1 hour 37 minutes. For comparison, Cambourne sits 100 minutes from Gatwick and Godmanchester 111 minutes. Back at Gatwick, look for your name in arrivals; the bags go straight to the car. Ravensley is based in Oxford; reaching Histon takes 1 hour 58 minutes.
