Hi Guys,

Thanks to BA, next holiday plans up in the air. Can anyone tell me what the quickest and easiest way to get from LHR to LGW. (and how long it takes)

many thanks

David

There's a National Express coach service which runs very frequently during the day from Heathrow to Gatwick - takes about 1 hour 25 minutes. Taxi must be the fastest route, I would've thought, but probably considerably more expensive than the coach.

Depends if you want to risk the M25 or not.

There is the coach (about £19 I thing), Taxi (Think of a number, double it and multipy by the drivers IQ) or you can do Heathrow Express and Gatwick Express (about £38).

to echo what Darren said...

the coach is good done it a few times myself..... taxi a big no no.... and doing the two express trains, would mean a trip across London... depending what time of day and how many people could be possible but I would not do it.

Probably quickest to fly to CDG and then back to LGW

The coach service is good and depending on time of day then I think it should be ok. Having lived in Guildford and used the M25 between LHR and LGW many times I would say 80% of the time you can join and have no traffic problems at all. Clearly Friday from about 3pm (certainly going towards LHR) is a no, no and a Sunday evening from about 6pm going towards LGW is also a no, no.

Despite its bad rep, as I said, the majority of times I have jumped on the M25 at the A3 junction to head to the M23 I have had no problems whatsoever.

Another option, albeit long winded is, Coach to Woking Station, train to Guildford and then jump on the First Great Western Service to LGW.
