    Book your ticket online. It is both cheaper and ticket printing kiosks are always available whilr people pile up before self service tickey kiosks.

    The quickest way to get into the airport from Victoria station. It’ll take you about 30mins. Beat the traffic and this is a time saver!

    Been here 100+ times
    Board at the back of the train if your traveling to Gatwick Airport North Terminal. This way your close to the second staircase that takes you to the shuttle station.

    If you haven't bought a ticket yet , save yourself a pile of dough and just go via Southern. It only takes 2-7 minutes longer.

    The national rail train is way cheaper (8£) and it takes exactly the same time to reach the airport.

    30 minutes and you are in town. Seats and aisles are a bit narrow so if you have too much luggage, try to get on the carriages in the back.

    I find it takes about 10 mins longer during peak times. I've not been on an Express train yet where it's got me to Gatwick in 30 mins. They should really advertise it as a 35 minute service at least.

    If you like bypassing the crowds at Clapham Junction and East Croydon look out for the rush hour trains that continue onto stations past Gatwick Airport ending @ Brighton (Southern Tickets are valid)

    The faster and cheaper way to get London from airport. The train is very old!!

    Easier to exit the station by the back stairs and walk up Victoria Street behind the Cathedral.

    Fast and easy access to London Victoria. Not necessarily the cheapest though.

    Price constantly get higher as the trains get older and slower. Allocate more than the stated 35 mins. Always takes 10-15 mins longer.

    Total bs! For £36 ($55!) you get delayed and therefore overcrowded trains and very unclear announcements. Definitely not worth the prime price. Will explore some other options next time

    Buy your tickets online in advance in order to skip the queue! (You also save 10%)

    Gatwick 'direct' maybe, certainly not express. But you'll more likely get a seat and the trains are designed to take luggage.

    Get early to get a seat and sit on the left to avoid the sun in your face - normally late into Brighton.

    Truly poor service. Slower than the cheaper regular trains, standard airline luggage doesnt fit in overhead racks and overpriced. Do yourself a favor and use another option.

    First time on Gatwick Express; as everyone comment here "EXPRESS" definitely not the word to use. From the start, train depart 15 mins late

    The word "Express" is not to be taken seriously.

    Gatwick so NOT Express. Grumpy old man syndrome aside, this thing is slow every single time and not a word from anybody. Count on a 45 minute trip minimum.

    Лучший и всего за 30 минут способ добраться из Гатвика в центр Лондона (вокзал Виктория). Бесплатный wifi и розетки (британские!) Через приложение GX покупка билетов значительно дешевле.

    가트윅과 빅토리아역을 편안하게 연결해준다. 공항역에서 승차권 살때는 진입하다 좌측에 있는 fast ticket기계를 이용하시길! 한달안에 다시 이 공항을 이용하신다면 return으로 사세요!
