Will be flying to London from Vancouver this Spring and am wondering which airport would be more convenient and accessible to public transpo around Central London. Should I fly into Heathrow Airport or Gatwick?

Gatwick is cheaper because of taxes. Not sure one is more convenient than another, as we have used Heathrow unfortunately!

Heathrow

Gatwick.

I've flown into and out of both and didn't find either easier or harder than the other. (Heathrow with AC, Gatwick with WJ)

Both have easy access to central London by tube or Gatwick Express. Generally Gatwick is cheaper to fly into because charters use it.

Yes,Gatwick Express is expensive vs tube.

Gatwick express goes to Victoria station I think? But the underground does go right from Heathrow, into the city too. Both work, but go with what's cheaper!

We went on British Airways to Heathrow.

Let's put it this Gatwick is like being in Surrey close but still time to travel , Heathrow is Richmond closer and faster transit

Heathrow to London is 20 miles 35 min drive (no traffic jams included) or 44 min by train - Gatwick is 28 miles 1 hour drive time or 43 min by train

Basically what I said one closer the. Other but put it in perspective of Vancouver

That makes sense. Thanks

Heathrow

Agree with
Angela and Helen both easy to get into central London - Gatwick is cheaper to fly into because of the charter flights and the airport taxes are much cheaper - Heathrow adds about 35% to ticket cost where Gatwick adds bout 20%

It all depends on which Airline you are using. Some only go to Gatwick, others only to Heathrow.

Abbotsford or Vancouver any one will do

I don't think there is a direct flight to anywhere in England from Abbotsford.

Paul Zoom used to fly Abbotsford > London Stansted

Chris. Will check that out Chris.Thanks.

Paul Zoom went bust

Chris. Let's hope Abbotsford airport expands to cover more fights to UK.

Stagnated is quite away from London. About an hour train ride

HEathrow for sure

Thanks guys. Really appreciate

The tube from Heathrow is so much faster, cheaper, easier. The train from Gatwick is more expensive and only gets you to an outer station in London, you need to change to the tube at Victoria station.

Air Canada and British Airways both fly into Heathrow. However the ticket prices from these airlines is more expensive. If you are concerned about costs Gatwick would be your best bet.

There is a regular rail service from Gatwick to Victoria station which has fewer stops than the underground and is the best value. Ultimately, the cost of your flight determines where you land.

Heathrow... but there are trains from gatwick too. Just not as frequent, more $ and longer to get to w1

You can get a train from Gatwick into many stations in London. Take Thameslink not the Gatwick Express. Far less money. You can also use your Oyster card from Gatwick into London on any train. I go at least once a year.
