what time would I have to leave to get to Gatwick (by car) by 9am please?

[Curmudgeon]

usually takes an hour .. do the streatham, croydon route .. how much longer to add the 'slightly heading into town before heading out' traffic of rush-hour please?

By train: 50 minutes

By car: who can tell. See my recent post quoting taxi driver who recommended train over taxi.

Take a black cab - they can zip through the bus lanes...
