The Gatwick Express is a dedicated rail express link into Central London's Victoria station. London in 30 minutes, every 15 minutes is what's on offer.

However, the Gatwick Express doesn't have a monopoly. Competitors offer slightly reduced levels of service at cheaper prices, along the same tracks.

First Capital Connect Trains takes around 30-45 minutes to Central London. Local commuter trains also run to Victoria with standard tickets below that of the Gatwick Express. As these trains make several stops they are 10 minutes or so slower than the Gatwick Express.

The cheapest transfer option between Central London and Gatwick is by vehicle. However roads are very prone to congestion and at the best of times the transfer will take twice as long as the train.
