Gatwick Express runs between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport station with a premium fare. Broader “train times” searches include Thameslink from St Pancras, Farringdon, and Blackfriars — often better value but with more changes and stairs.
Train times work well for solo travellers with a small bag. Groups, children, golf clubs, or post-meeting pickups from Mayfair often prefer one fixed-fare car to North or South Terminal.

- Train: lower headline fare, you handle bags and last-mile at home
- Gatwick Express: fastest rail from Victoria, premium ticket
- Taxi: door-to-door, fixed quote, terminal-specific drop-off
- Night departures: taxi avoids sparse rail and Tube closures
