it's cheaper the more passengers you have (one adult GBP40, two are
GBP70, three GBP90 and four GBP100). It seems that National Express
don't serve this route at all on Xmas day (has that always been so?),
but I do wonder just how much more expensive a (mini)cab might be,
even on the 25th?

Even reputable mini-cabs charge double on Christmas Day, so expect to
pay around GBP 140 for Heathrow to Gatwick. I think I'd opt for the 847,
unless timing was absolutely critical.

Licensed taxi (black cabs) only charge £4 more than the normal fare on
Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

There are a number of new Apps for black taxis including HailO and
GetTaxi.

If anyone wants to go to or from the Heathrow or Gatwick and London or
the south coast late evening or early morning I may be able to help as I
intend to work right through the night over the holiday periods.
