Is there any air link between Gatwick (south
of London) and Stansted (north of London) ?

I don't think you can fly between these two airports.

Transfers are usually done by bus (allow 3 hours) or train (allow 2
hours), see:

Or via AMS which you could maybe do in 3 hours too...

Jim.

Do it via Geneva, and you can pick up some duty free's, which might make it
the cheapest way.

Care to name the direct unerground link between the two stations?

Oops. I have no idea how I managed to misread this map in my hand
to think that the Northern Line went to Liverpool Stret.

Never mind....

In which case, Gatwick to Blackfriars and then Circle Line to
Liverpool Street would be a direct underground connection.

National Express coaches

Rail - Gatwick Express to Victoria: tube to Liverpool St:
Stansted Express to the airport

Too difficult. Easier and quicker would be (if you want) G'Ex to
Victoria, Victoria line to Tottenham Hale, S'Ex to STN


Personally I would probably prefer Gatquick to London Bridge, taxi
or bus to Liverpool street, Stanstead Express. Misses out the
underground.

Personally I'd prefer to book an onward flight out of Gatwick as
I get to miss out on everything except possibly a transfer between
the north and south terminals ;-)

Flying into LHR or LGW and then going Eireflop from STN always
strikes me as akin to flying into JFK and then taking an internal
flight from La Guardia. Just because it's possible doesn't make
it at all a desirable prospect.

Nah, it's more like a flight from EWR or maybe even HPN. LGA-JFK can be
done in 2 hours by public transit - I did that on turkey day friday
last year - and a lot less by cab).

Even shorter, GatwIck to Farringdon and then circle, metropolitan and/or
H&C line to Liverpool St. Only 2 stops - but a long ugly staircase to
cross platforms.

Due to congestion charge?

Due to bus lanes that were there before the congestion charge.
