Gatwick is the closest London airport to Tunbridge Wells. Most journeys take the A264 west through East Grinstead, or the A21 north to the M25 and M23 when that is quicker. Tunbridge Wells station has no direct train to Gatwick, so most passengers with luggage, families and anyone leaving before the first trains prefer a pre-booked taxi. If you are travelling as a group of two or more, the £85 fixed fare is often comparable to two train tickets plus a taxi to the station.
