If you have made the transfer from LHR to LGW with a 3 hour 20 minute layover or less, what was your experience?
Thanks very much!

What time of year ( weather issues, either at your departure airport or London?) and is what you contemplate on a single ticket?
Coming from where and where are you going?
Checked bags?
More details will get you a better 'apples to apples' experience report.

Yes, single itinerary. BA from US connecting to BA at LGW.
Thanks for asking.

I have never made a connection between Heathrow and Gatwick, but have flown from both. It's at least a 50 minute drive between the two on the M25 aka Britain's biggest carpark, so more likely more than 1 hour and I have never landed at Heathrow and got out of the Terminal in under 40 minutes before (Albeit I always have checked bags). I personally wouldn't try that connection, but I guess it is doable if everything goes to plan!

My opinion - Don’t do it. Find an option where you don’t have to change airports.
I’ve been on too many delayed flights into Heathrow and adding the need to travel to an airport that is an hour away would not be worth the hassle to me.
