Gatwick Airport Station transfer guide
Gatwick Airport Station sits beneath South Terminal, directly connected to the airport by a short covered walkway. The Gatwick Express runs non-stop to London Victoria in around 30 minutes, making it one of the fastest airport rail links in the UK. When arranging the journey, the most useful details are your exact pickup point, destination, date, time, passenger count and luggage needs. Giving those details clearly helps the booking process and reduces uncertainty on the day.
What to plan before travelling
- Confirm the exact pickup and destination.
- Allow sensible time for traffic, baggage and meeting points.
- Check passenger and luggage needs before selecting a vehicle.
- Use the related airport and station pages to plan onward travel.
Getting to and from Gatwick Airport Station
Since the station sits at South Terminal, passengers flying from North Terminal need the free inter-terminal shuttle, which takes around 2 minutes. A pre-booked taxi is a convenient alternative if you're travelling with luggage or heading somewhere the Gatwick Express doesn't reach directly, such as destinations across Sussex, Surrey or Kent.
Airport, station and hotel connections
UK journeys often involve more than one transport point. You may travel from an airport to a city centre, from a railway station to a hotel, or between towns and airports. The related pages on this site help you move between these journey stages.
