  • Heathrow to Gatwick

    From Ken Blake@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 6 07:23:46 2018
    This coming September, at around 2:30pm one afternoon, my wife and I
    will need to get from Heathrow airport to Gatwick airport. I know that
    we can take a bus. We've taken a bus before, but the current bus was
    full and we had to wait a long time for the next one. About how much
    would a taxi cost? Is there another alternative we should consider?

    Trains are very inconvenient, indirect routes with changes.
    A taxi would be around £50/70 depending on quote.
    Travel times would be around 75 minutes.
    We often do this trip from 20 minutes towards Gatwick from Heathrow.

    That's a very steep price for a 20-minute trip.

    Is there directly bus service?

    Or maybe save a little on Uber or Mini Cabs?

    Suggest you read both previous posts again.
