Need transportation from Heathrow to Gateway area and Hotel -
We will be flying into Heathrow and will be flying out of Gateway the next day.
Need a clean, inexpensive hotel near Gateway and transportation to Gateway the
next morning.
How far is it from Heathrow to the Gateway
area? Would it be very expensive to take a taxi?
Thanks

It might be helpful if you tell us what time you're arriving at Heathrow and what time your flight is at Gatwick (note: no E) the following day.
If you are flying in early to Heathrow in the day, and your flight on the next day is not until the afternoon, you can go into London and do some sightseeing there, and spend the night in London.
There is a bus service between Heathrow & Gatwick. Try www.nationalexpress.com

As far as your hotel search goes, when I've gone to London I've stayed in town rather than near the airport, so I can't advise you there, but I do recommend a very comprehensive web site that may help you - www.smoothhound.com. Strange name, great site.

If you are still trying to find out the cost of taxi from Heathrow to Gatwick, and more hotel options & Gatwick, I suggest you repost your message with the correct spelling. You probably will get more response that way because most people will skip over your current post since they don't know where "Gateway" is.

Here is a thread from 1 year ago that has several B&Bs around Gatwick. You can find out more by typing Gatwick Airport hotels in the search box above.
