The journey takes about an hour and 10 minutes and runs between about 6 am and midnight, with about 3 buses an hour. National Express has a service between the airport and Victoria Station, taking an hour and a half and running between 3.30 am and 10.15 pm, but with only 1 bus an hour. There is a taxi service at the airport and the journey into central London will cost about £77.
There are a number of different long-stay parking options at the airport for those arriving by car. However, you might find that booking a room in a Gatwick Airport hotel with a park and fly deal would work out cheaper overall.
For travellers arriving at Gatwick Airport by car, there are a number of parking options, in addition to the on site facilities. Several companies offer a meet and greet parking service. This can be a very convenient option. You drive directly to the airport and a member of staff from the company meets you there. You hand over the car and it is taken away to an off site car park. When you are due to land at Gatwick again after your trip, the car is brought back to the airport, ready for you to drive home.
This is a Gatwick meet and greet / valet parking service. It is a small, family run company. Prices are fixed until 2011 and there is a forces discount available to Police, Ambulance, Fire and HM forces serving and retired. Business rates are also available for regular travellers.
