If you follow the flow at Gatwick you will probably end up on the Gatwick Express train.

First Capital Connect trains to Gatwick offer a very similar product at a much cheaper price.

The main difference of First Capital Connect to the Gatwick Express is the route. Trains branch off to London Bridge station and then make several stops through London to Kings Cross. Unlike the Gatwick Express most of the passengers are not airport travellers, as a result the trains can get crowded at peak times.		 Gatwick To London Train by First Capital Connect
The journey between London Bridge and Gatwick on First Capital Connect trains is 30 minutes, the same as the Gatwick Express to London Victoria
Trains continue to St Pancras, terminal of the Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels.
