Best way to West Brompton from Gatwick
Optimal Route from Gatwick to West Brompton
I’ll be arriving at Gatwick in the morning from Canada with my family of four, and we’ll be staying near West Brompton. What’s the most efficient rail option to reach our destination?
To travel from Gatwick Airport to West Brompton by rail, here’s a straightforward plan:
Gatwick to London Victoria: Start by taking the Gatwick Express or a Thameslink train from Gatwick Airport to London Victoria. The Gatwick Express is direct and takes about 30 minutes, but the Thameslink service is typically cheaper and also takes about 30-35 minutes.
Victoria to West Brompton: Once you’re at London Victoria, transfer to the Underground. Take the District Line (green line) towards Wimbledon. West Brompton is just a few stops away from Victoria, and the journey will take around 15-20 minutes.
Final stop: Get off at West Brompton station. The journey should take about an hour in total, including transfer times.
Make sure to check the train schedules in advance, especially since you’re arriving in the morning. Purchasing an Oyster card or using a contactless payment method can make travel easier on the Tube. Enjoy your trip to London!
