Around 19 miles, typically taking 40 to 50 minutes via the A26/A23, depending on traffic. Gatwick is the closer of the two main airports served from Tunbridge Wells.
Gatwick is the shorter, more straightforward run from Tunbridge Wells - the A26 south then onto the A23 gets you there directly without needing the M25, which is why it's typically quicker and more predictable than the Heathrow route. Off-peak journeys run close to the 40-minute end of the estimate; allow closer to 50 minutes during the school run or evening rush. Because Gatwick handles a high volume of early-morning and late-evening leisure flights, pre-booking matters here specifically - the alternative is relying on public transport that may not be running yet, or an airport taxi rank at a busy time.

Yes - pre-booking is particularly worthwhile for early flights, since it confirms your driver and pickup time in advance rather than leaving availability to chance on the morning. It also removes the need to find a taxi at short notice if you're travelling before public transport is running.
