Map of M25 Junctions 5 to 10: Godstone, Gatwick and Leatherhead

West of Sevenoaks the M25 runs below the North Downs through Surrey, past Godstone and Merstham, where the M23 leaves for Gatwick and Brighton, then over Reigate Hill and on to Leatherhead.

Gatwick passengers, Surrey commuters and walkers heading for the Downs use this stretch. Clacket Lane services sits between junctions 5 and 6, and Cobham services between junctions 9 and 10. The map shows how close the road runs to Redhill, Reigate and Epsom.

The road on the map is coloured by the live traffic flow speed, the same data as our live M25 traffic flow map. Choose clockwise or anticlockwise above the map. Tap any junction number to open that junction’s own page.
