Check luggage at Gatwick? Also Gatwick Express question

My wife and I have a long daytime layover at Gatwick and will take the
Gatwick Express to London for a few hours. We would like to leave our
carryon bags in the airport if possible. I realize that coin lockers are
history. Is there a room where small bags can be checked for a few hours?

At what London station does the Gatwick Express go?

Yes, they have a left luggage facility- certainly in the south terminal,
and perhaps the north too. (the website for the airport is down-
probably temporary maintenance.) It's around 5 UKP a bag however, and I
wouldn't be surprised if that has gone up recently!

At what London station does the Gatwick Express go?

Victoria.

I just replied in another post. The website I normally use for Gatwick
(www.baa.co.uk/gatwick) seems to be down temporarily, but I remembered
the name of the left luggage company!

http://www.excess-baggage.co.uk/

They do indeed have a facility at the north terminal, open 0600-2200.
(The one at the south terminal is 24 hour.) Also, the price is now UKP
5.50 per bag.

Don't know about left luggage, but the Gatwick express leaves from South
treminal and goes to London Victoria - takes 30 mins.

You can easily get from North to South terminal - there is a shuttle train
every few minutes.

Ask for a day return ticket on the train - cheaper than two singles.

Southern Rail also goes to Victoria - much cheaper but takes longer as it's
a stopping service
