BY EXPRESS TRAIN:
GATWICK EXPRESS TO VICTORIA STATION
​
30mins
ap. £19/way
​
This train is literally the worst. It is dirty and it takes you to Victoria station which is a confusing transit hub in West London. Trains come through the platform at random times so you'll have to refer to the time table as well as a worker to make sure you go to the correct platform at the correct time. Opt for the Gatwick Express only if your accommodation is near Victoria station. One other OK thing about the Gatwick Express is that you can use your Oyster Card (London travel card used for all public transportation).
