Transfer from Gatwick to London
 
We will arrive at Gatwick with 6 adults amd 3 teenagers in March. Would like suggestions for transfer to hotel in Green Park. Thanks.

Ride the Southern Train to Victoria Station. Green Park is a short bus ride (#8 or 38) away.

The train fare is £17.80 round trip for adults and £8.90 for 5-15yo.

And while a bus would be cheaper - it would take much, MUCH longer. A transfer service might cut you a deal for such a large group - but I personally would pay the extra to take the train. The road routes in from LGW are a nightmare during the morning commute.

Get a grip Robes - I was talking about a bus <u>in from LGW</u>&quot; . . . .

Gatwick Express or Southern Train. With 9 of you plus luggage, you'll need two vans for the car service so it won't be that cost effective. Not to mention traffic as janisj mentioned. From Victoria, you can also take a tube if you can manage stairs with luggage. It's only 1 stop on Victoria Line.

Robes pulled the magic act and clicked his back button to delete the post I responded to. Just ignore my second post. (tut, tut Robiespierre - just not playing fair)

janisj:

How do you do that? or more relevantly, what are you saying Robes did?

If you and he have found out how to change/kill what you've just posted, I thiuk you should let the rest of us know.
