Best way to get from Kings Cross to Gatwick Airport?

We will be staying near Kings Cross/St Pancras stations. We will be flying on Easy Jet to Prague. Looks to me that the Gatwick Express would be our best option. Am I reading this correctly? Can we catch it at Kings Cross? All information will be appreciated. Where can I get more information on this thanks!

The Gatwick Express is the high-priced express service from London Victoria. If you are staying in the Kings Cross area you're better to get a Thameslink train from St Pancras to Gatwick. Go to the underground platform A at St Pancras (entrance at the north end of the station concourse by the domestic ticket office) and get a train for Brighton or Three Bridges.

I agree. Train direct from St Pancras to Gatwick. Branded as "Thameslink". Departs from underneath the main station, well signposted. For times see here: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
But, you must tick "show only direct trains" or it will route you via Victoria and the Gatwick Express.
