Travelling to London
London has a number of airports that serve the city. It is easiest to travel in to London from Heathrow, Gatwick or London City Airport.
Luton, Stansted and Southend airports are much further away from central London and can take over 1.5hrs on the train.
If travelling from Gatwick to central London we recommend taking the standard passenger train rather than the Gatwick Express which is much more expensive and saves only ~10mins.
