To and from aiports: To and from Gatwick airport

Gatwick is Englands second biggest airport and is just 44 kilometers outside central London.

There are two terminals at Gatwick airport so I split it between the South terminal and the north terminal. There is a free shuttle between the terminals.

I do recommend to make a booking with a shuttleservice. It is very conveniet, you will be picked up at the airport and taken to your preferd drop-off point and you dont have to negotiate the price. There are some companys that offer this service, for exampel Hoppa.
