Paris Toolkit Gatwick - London hotel shared airport van shuttle service
Door to door shared van service between Gatwick Airport and central London hotels
The quickest and most efficient way to transfer from Gatwick Airport to your central London hotel is by Gatwick Express.
Road based options are relatively slow between Gatwick and central London, the road from Gatwick to central London soon gets bogged down in stop, start urban traffic.
However, most of the trains terminate at London Victoria, which for most people requires a further taxi or alternative to your hotel in London. A door to door service recovers much of that time.
The Gatwick Airport - London hotel van shuttle, although common in many countries, has a chequered history at London airports. Only a fraction of passengers use them and most do not even know the service exists.
Unlike the public transport alternatives run by huge corporations the shuttle service is run by small independent operators.
The van shuttle service is expensive and potentially slow compared with popular public transport alternatives, but much cheaper than a private car or taxi and above all is door to door unlike public transport.
