Hi
I will be arriving in London in April at 10 AM. What would be the best way for me to get to Kings Cross St Pancras station fro Gatwick Airport?
Easy. Take Thameslink

train from Gatwick Airport to St Pancras takes about 50 minutes - buy ticket on the day
I did this trip yesterday. 2-3 trains per hour, takes 50-60 minutes (a bit of a slow train). Cost £10.40
The only catch is to check you buy a ticket "not including underground". The machine will by default try to sell you a ticket using the Gatwick Express, then the underground, which costs more.
Thanks for the information. It was very helpful. We have an early flight out of Gatwick at 7:10am. Any recommendations for returning to Gatwick Airport?
