🧳 Viaggiare con i Bagagli

If you have heavy bags and want zero transfers, the National Express coach loads your suitcases at Heathrow and unloads them right outside Gatwick North or South Terminal.

🌙 Arrivare Dopo Mezzanotte

National Express coaches run 24 hours a day between Heathrow and Gatwick (up to 60 departures daily).

🚫 Errori Comuni e Truffe Taxi da Evitare

  • Taking the Heathrow Express to Paddington + Circle Line Tube to Victoria + Gatwick Express — that old route requires 2 transfers and costs £46+, whereas changing once at Farringdon on the Elizabeth Line + Thameslink is faster and costs £20.20!
  • Black cabs from Heathrow to central London cost £70–£120+ and take 50–75 minutes in traffic. Unless you pre-book a fixed-rate private transfer for a family group, the Elizabeth Line or Heathrow Express is twice as fast.

Airlines and Heathrow Airport recommend at least 3.5 to 4 hours between scheduled arrival at LHR and departure at LGW to allow for UK border control, baggage claim, the 65–75 minute transfer, and bag drop at Gatwick.
