There are left luggage offices at both Paddington and Victoria Stations if you want to dump your luggage and do some sightseeing.

Paddington and Victoria are connected by the Circle Line, part of the London Underground system. Both are in Zone 1 of the system, and are about 3 miles apart.

It should be emphasised that the direct route between Heathrow and Gatwick is Heathrow - Gatwick bus shuttle operated by National Express.
The cheapest route between Heathrow and Gatwick is also via central London using coach and the London Underground. This is much slower and crowded though substantially cheaper than using the Express train options assumed here.

Full details of the Heathrow Express and Gatwick Express including fares are on separate detailed pages.

It makes sense to seek accommodation around either Victoria or Paddington Stations. Fortunately both have a wide breadth of accommodation options and are convenient for sightseeing.
We have separate detailed pages for Paddington Station and Victoria Station.
