TRAVEL FROM LONDON TO PARIS
 
GOOD MORNING, I WILL BE TRAVELING FROM LONDON TO PARIS IN JULY AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST FORM OF TRANSPORTATION FROM LONDON TO PARIS.

ALSO A CHEAP WAY TO GET FROM GATWICK AIRPORT TO CENTRAL LONDON.
THANKS A MILLION EVERYONE.

The quickest total travel time is Eurostar,I am not sure if it is the cheapest. In future please don't use all cap letters.

Fly - cheaper, and if you're at the airport it makes sense. I can't be bothered with all this train nonsense.

There are 4 options that I can think of off the top of my head; plane, Eurostar, train to Dover, then ferry, then train from Calais, and train/hydrofoil/train. You'll have to check to which is the cheapest. Probably the ferry, since it is slow.

From Gatwick, take the train in. Runs every 15 minutes. Takes about 30 minutes.

There is one more option for getting from London to Paris--and it is the cheapest of all. You can take a coach (bus). Visit www.nationalexpress.com for the details.

Take a South Central train from Gatwick to Victoria Station (8.00 GBP - 40 minutes) or the Gatwick Express (same route - 11.00 GBP - 30 minutes).
