Gatwick to Heathrow

Hi Jeff. There are easy shuttles - info is on Gatwick website....

The National Express coach between LHR and LGW is the best option. You can find info on the Heathrow website.

This is the rare example where I'd recommend road over train in London - any rail route will require inconvenient levels of changing. Use a shuttle or the scheduled buses.

Agree- the National Express buses are easy, very frequent, fairly cheap, and comfortable. Using the train would just be cumbersome with luggage and transfers.

I have a couple of related questions. We are flying from Rome to Gatwick, land at 22:55. We have a flight out of Heathrow the next day at 11:00. We have booked a room at the Heathrow Marriott for the night. There is a National Express shuttle that leaves Gatwick at 23:25 and not another one until the next morning at 1:15. I have no idea how long we should count on, after we land, to pick up luggage and get to the shuttle/bus stop. ..Could we make that 23:25 shuttle or should I book the one for the next morning? If I book and don't make the bus, can we use our tickets for the next bus? Once we get to Heathrow, what is the best way to get to the hotel? I read online that there is not a hotel shuttle to and from airport. Thanks for advice!

Sara: By my calculations you have 30 minutes from Scheduled landing to being on the bus. The only way to do that is for plane to land on time, and immediately open the doors. You must be first off the plane and first in line at Immigration. Not going to happen unless your plane arrives and disembarks at least 45 minutes early

Sara, You will arrive too late to take a Hoppa Bus to the Marriott. Fortunately, local buses run 24/7 and they are free along the Bath Road where the Marriott is located. See this page for details.
