Is the express the coach service sorry?

Its the Gatwick Express (Train)

 

As deecie says, don't waste your money on this option, as its not worth it in terms of time saved :ok:

Yes I agree totally.

Its about 10 minutes quicker at best (assuming everything is running on time which it usually isn't) and sometimes no quicker at all, but is about double the price.

Normal train from Gatwick will do you fine. The station is right under the airport (south terminal) and very easy to access.

Then just pick your London station according to where you are staying.

Let us know where your hotel is and there's plenty of us on here can tell you the best station to use.

Take the train - normal service, no need to take Gatwick express as previously advised - to Victoria, then take the Circle/District line to Embankment and walk up to Trafalgar Sq.

www.nationalrail.co.uk.  You might want to look at getting a one day travel card as that will cover your transport to Wembley and so might slightly cheaper.

If you're bank card is contactless you wont need an oyster card or travelcard and can benefit from capping. 

I think Gatwick is zone 7 so it would be £12.80 for the day. 

 

Thanks yeah mine is contactless, thanks for all your help everyone
