There is wide range of rail and bus transport options for passengers using London Gatwick Airport. Rail options predominate though.

The roads between Gatwick and Central London are not motorway/freeway standard but wind through suburbia with traffic lights making for a tedious stop, start journey.

Rail is at least twice as fast as transfers by road vehicle.		 Transport to Gatwick
  • The Gatwick Express train. This is the fastest and most comfortable option. The terminus in Central London at Victoria is also very central and a good transit point to your accommodation. Only downside is cost
  • The First Capital Connect Train runs a different route into Central London. It is almost as fast and is significantly cheaper than the Gatwick Express. It stops at several stations mostly in the City Of London. St Pancras is the exception, a major cheap hotel district and terminus for the Eurostar trains to Paris.
  • Local trains mostly run by Southern Trains run the same route as the Gatwick Express. They take about 15 minutes more to Victoria as they are stopping trains. They can get very crowded at peak times , but are much cheaper than the Gatwick Express. There are also direct services to the Kensington area of London and they can be used to make a reliable transfer to Waterloo station for the Eurostar services
  • National Express Coaches provide a full size bus connection and also between Gatwick and London Victoria. Whilst fares are cheaper than rail. Journey time is at least double.
  • easyBus provide a frequent minibus shuttle, again between Gatwick and London Victoria. Buses are 16 seat and fares and are variable on the low cost airline model, the earlier you book (on-line). the cheaper the fare.
  • Hotel Shuttle Bus is a service where your ticket covers use of the of the Gatwick Express train to London Victoria, where a minibus meets your train and takes you to your Central London accommodation from the station.
