Transfers Between Heathrow & Gatwick Airport

Featuring the Gatwick Heathrow National Express Service - The Only Direct Public Transport

National Express Bus

Only Direct Heathrow - Gatwick Public Transport - National Express

By far the most popular option connecting Heathrow and Gatwick are the frequent (around 100 services a day each way) bus / coach shuttles that provide near 24x7 schedules between Heathrow and Gatwick airports. These are run by National Express .

Note: There is no direct train transfer between Heathrow and Gatwick.

At Gatwick the bus picks up from both passenger terminals, North and South Terminal.

At Heathrow its a little more complicated. All buses go to the Central Bus Station where Terminals 1 and 3 are. Its a 10 minute walk between the bus station and these terminals underground using moving walkways and lifts. You can also get a free train every 15 minutes from here to Terminals 4 and 5.

Most buses stop at Terminal 5 between Heathrow and Gatwick, some stop at Terminal 4.

Cheapest Transport Heathrow - Gatwick Airport

The cheapest way to travel between Gatwick and Heathrow Airports is by London Underground and bus. Expect a travel time of around 3 hours though and being required to drag luggage up escalators and stairs and travel in crowded train carriages.

Going in the Heathrow to Gatwick direction you would get the London Underground from Heathrow to either Victoria or Fulham Broadway.

You then get either the National Express London Victoria to Gatwick Airport bus or the easyBus Fulham Broadway - Gatwick bus.

Shared Shuttle Vans Between Heathrow & Gatwick

Unlike many countries there is currently no shared 'supershuttle' style minibus operations at either Heathrow or Gatwick. Operations have come and gone but seem unable to compete with the public transport alternatives.
