Imagine you’ve just landed at Heathrow, you’re a bit groggy, and you really don’t want to think about underground maps or changing platforms. That’s where the National Express coach becomes your best mate. It’s a direct bus that runs every 30 minutes or so, and it takes roughly 60 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic.
You hop on at the Heathrow Central Bus Station (right by Terminals 1, 2, and 3), and it drops you off right at Gatwick’s North and South Terminals. It’s like having a chauffeur who also handles your luggage—just sit back, stare out the window at the green English countryside, and maybe catch a nap. Plus, tickets are cheap, often under £20 online, and you can book them last-minute on your phone.
Why you’ll love it: No thinking required.
You know that feeling when you’re already exhausted from a long flight? The coach is the equivalent of ordering takeaway instead of cooking a complicated meal. It’s simple, reliable, and you don’t need to remember which platform is which.
