If you
have a very long gap between flights or prefer the idea of overnighting
at a Central London hotel in preference to an airport hotel then transferring
via Central London is very much an option.
The Gatwick Express train
runs between Heathrow and Victoria station taking 30 minutes at a
frequency of every 15 minutes.
The Stansted Express
train runs between Stansted and Liverpool Street Stations at similar
frequencies and take about 45 minutes |

There
are left luggage offices at both Victoria and Liverpool Street Stations
if you want to dump your luggage and do some sightseeing.
Victoria and Liverpool Street are connected by the Circle Line, part
of the London
Underground system. Both are in Zone 1 of the system, and are
about 4 miles apart.
It should be emphasised that the direct route between Gatwick and
Stansted is the Gatwick
- Stansted bus shuttle operated by National Express.
The cheapest
route between Gatwick and Stansted is also via central London
using coach, rail and the London Underground. This is slower and more
crowded though substantially cheaper than using the Express train
options assumed here.
Full details of the Gatwick
Express and Stansted
Express including fares are on separate detailed pages.

It makes
sense to seek accommodation around Victoria Station. Liverpool Street
is in the financial district of London, called the square mile. There
is little accommodation in the immediate vicinity of Liverpool Street,
though about 1 km away is the Tower of London. There are some good
hotels
around Tower of London and Tower Bridge.
We have detailed pages on the extensive hotel accommodation around
Victoria Station. |
