Transfer Herne Bay-LGW Gatwick
The town of Herne Bay is located East of Gatwick airport a distance of 70 miles that would take around 1hour 15 minutes by taxi via the M25, M26 and M20. Herne Bay is a seaside town located on the South Coast of the Thames Estuary, in the county of Kent.
The town began as a small shipping community, receiving goods and passengers from London en route to Canterbury and Dover. The town rose to prominence as a seaside resort during the early 19th century after the building of a pleasure pier and promenade by a group of London investors, and reached its heyday in the late Victorian era. One of the oldest buildings in Herne Bay is the late 18th-century inn, The Ship, which served as the focal point for the small shipping and farming community which first inhabited the town. During this time, passenger and cargo boats regularly ran between Herne Bay and London, and boats carrying coal ran from Newcastle. During the early 19th century, a smugglers' gang operated from the town. The gang were regularly involved in a series of fights with the preventive services until finally being overpowered in the 1820s. The building of the pier, promenade and a railway station, all led to the rapid expansion of the town; between 1831 and 1841 the town's population grew from 1,876 to 3,041. Then in the towns Victorian heyday as a seaside resort, the population nearly doubled again from 4,410 to 8,442 between 1881 and 1901. Much of the resulting late Victorian seafront architecture is still in existence today.
