Comments

  • Busiest single-runway airport in the world.
  • How to get here from downrown London , using public transport ?
  • Yes. The Gatwick Express is the fastest way to London taking half an hour, or 50 minutes on a slow train. If you drive you'd face heavy traffic, the congestion charge and parking nightmares - if you can find your way through South London without ending up in some obscure place in Tooting.
