Welcome — ask anything about getting to and from Gatwick

This is a place for anyone travelling through London Gatwick. Ask anything about getting to or from the airport, and hopefully we can save you the hour of Googling most people end up doing.

Things worth asking about:

- Getting into central London — train, coach, or car, and what each actually costs

- North vs South Terminal, and how long the shuttle between them takes

- Late-night and early-morning arrivals when the trains aren't running

- Layovers — whether you've got time to leave the airport

- Onward travel to Brighton, the coast, or elsewhere in the south

- Lounges, security waits, and how early to arrive

A few ground rules: be civil, no spam or referral links, and keep it Gatwick-related.

Full disclosure so nobody has to guess — I run a Gatwick transfer service, which is why I set this up. I'll give you the honest answer even when that answer is "take the train, it's cheaper and faster." If you'd rather hear from a wider crowd, r/uktravel and r/LondonTravel are both good.

Ask away.
