Any hints on ground transport from London Gatwick to hotel in west end, Thistle Kensington Garden Hotel. Thanks.
What hints ??? You have a choice train, bus, and tube or combination there of.
A bus from Gatwick to central London will be a very slow ride. The best combination of economy and speed would be to take a Southern train from Gatwick to Victoria Station and the Tube from there to Lancaster Gate. Take the Victoria line to Oxford Circus and the Central line from there to Lancaster Gate. Walk to the hotel.
If you don't want to schlepp your luggage on and off Tube trains, take a taxi from Victoria Station to the hotel.
