Direct and frequent coaches between the two airports is probably the best and most convenient solution http://www.baa.co.uk/doc/1d812d63da6...eec9_main.html If not you can always travel over London with a combination of train-tube or train-tube-train. |

Gatwick to Heathrow

There is a direct coach (bus) service. (or maybe two) www.speedlink.co.uk www.gobycoach.co.uk http://www.baa.com/main/airports/gat...north_terminal _frame.html Normaly about 1.5 hours but allow 2.5 hours or a bit more during peak times. You could do the Gatwick express to Victoria, tube or taxi to Paddington, then the Heathrow express to Heathrow. It would be quicker when there is a queue for the coach and/or lots of traffic on the M25, but it is more expensive and less convienient. Ask about waiting times and journey times when you buy the coach ticket at the airport then decide. |

I should think that once one was in the Underground system at Victoria Station it would be simplest, and possibly fastest overall, to take the District Line westerly and switch over to the Picadilly Line at any of several stations, thence directly to Heathrow. It would certainly save some schlepping of luggage. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

Except for the coach idea, everyone is suggesting expensive complicated routes. The best way would be to get a train from Gatwick to Clapham Junction, then change to a Feltham train. The train journey should take about an hour all together http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/planmyjourney and from Feltham you need to take the connecting bus to Heathrow http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/transportlinks/heathrow.htm, another 20 minutes. You'll need to use an underpass to get between platforms at Clapham Junction, and an over pass to get the the bus at Feltham, but compared to negotiating the Underground, it should be easy. You may be able to buy a ticket for the entire route at Gatwick, but otherwise, you will be able to get one to feltham, and just buy a ticket for the bus when you board. joan -- Joan McGalliard, UK http://www.mcgalliard.org |

This is supposed to be the simpler route?? ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
