Hi all
Thanks for all your help so far. Next step is getting to/from the airport.
Arriving at Gatwick at 930am on a Tuesday, departure at 1pm on a Friday.
We will have one carryon and one 24 inch suitcase, then another duffle on the way back.
Looking at options, I'm thinking the best bet when combining overall value with convenience is one of these:
Thameslink from Gatwick to St Pancras (46 GBP return for both of us), then taxi to Hopkins St hotel.
Thameslink or Southern to Victoria Station (64 GBP return) then taxi .
We know we could transfer yo the tube and then walk from there but with luggage that seems not very fun.
Any reason to pick the more expensive Victoria Station option?
Approximate cost for taxi from either to hotel?
Am I correct in thinking if I buy the "anytime return " option online that the times shown are just suggestions and we can board whichever train comes depending on when the flight lands etc?
Thanks again!
