Central London to Gatwick Airport by train | The cheaper way...

- I'm at London Bridge heading down to Gatwick Airport on the Thameslink train, which in my opinion is the better way to get between the city and the airport. I take you along with me and show you the journey.

Thank you so much for this video. It’s detailed and straight to the point. I have previously travelled from Gatwick to London Bridge and vice versa but will be travelling myself for the first time and I’m very anxious. Will save this video for when I’m travelling.
Thameslink Class 700
I came back from Spain around 3 weeks ago but used Stanstead 😂
Great video. Great job as always. 😀
Very clear good video guide..
I didn't realise that you can use your Oyster Card to travel to Gatwick. I usually fly from Stansted but, thanks to your video, will be using Thameslink when I next fly from Gatwick.
Enjoy Spain👍
Me too, I'm a Stansted regular haha! Somehow people think oyster is valid to Stansted too haha
Great video! I'll be traveling from Gatwick Airport into London for the 1st time ever. I'm trying to figure out if I should buy tickets ahead of time online or just use my contact less credit card to board the southern or thameslink at the gates. Ultimately I'm trying to get to the Paddington area. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance:)
best to just use your contactless, then using the same card when you interchange in central london. the fare will calculate itself and come out your account at the end of the day!
@SomeoneExplores thank u for the info!
Pity that ThamesLink is now just as expensive as the Southern.
Imagine the Piccadilly being as expensive from Heathrow as Elizabeth Line 🥵 (or as Heathrow Express 😱)!
I was actually of the understanding that Thameslink was still cheaper till I saw that sign at the airport looool
The Elizabeth should be the same price as the Piccadilly. It's crazy that it's not, it's tiny speed advantage from terminals 1&2 will be gone with the opening of OOC and the new Piccadilly stock. It's slower from the other terminals because it's so infrequent, wait 30mins for a Elizabeth line train from terminal 5 or almost be in zone 1 on the Piccadilly?
@@kwlkid85 I think journey time should be faster but the frequency of the Lizz Line to Heathrow, compared to Picc Line, counteracts this.
@@Peter-mj6lz That was my point the Piccadilly line is so much more frequent than the Elizabeth line, especially to Terminal 5.
I really wish we had these sorts of “city centre” to terminal direct connections in NYC. We have LIRR services and subway lines that reach the air train, but nothing that connects you directly to the airport. I guess it has to do with the time in which each were built, and now public agencies competing (yes, two public agencies: MTA and Port Authority) for the customer base. It’s a sad case; everything that can advance New York City is held back by cronyism.
