planning a trip from Paddington to Gatwick Airport

Paddington to Gatwick Airport

When you are planning a trip from Paddington to Gatwick Airport, you will find that you have several options. You can hire a taxicab, hired car with driver, or private minibus.  In addition, there are frequent departures of coaches, buses, trains, and tubes from Paddington.  Your choice will depend on how much money you want to spend and how fast you need to get to Gatwick.

The most convenient option (which will probably also be the easiest choice) is a taxicab.  This option will be the most expensive of all the options; the trade-off that makes hiring a taxicab the most convenient choice is that a taxicab can pick you and your luggage up at your home/hotel and deliver you straight to the airport.  Many of the public transport options (bus, train, tube, or coach) will stop close to the airport but perhaps not close enough if you have a lot of luggage.  Additionally, the taxi driver will often help you with your luggage whereas if you use public transport you’ll be stuck dealing with your own luggage.  This can be particularly difficult when using the tube because of the escalators and/or steps that you’ll need to negotiate.

Heathrow to Paddington

If you’re traveling from Heathrow to Paddington, your options are the same as when traveling from Paddington to Gatwick. Your choice will again be based on how much money you can afford to spend on your transportation and how quickly you need to arrive at Paddington from Heathrow.

Transfer to Paddington

If you’ve arrived at Gatwick and are considering your options for Transport to Paddington Station, your choices will include a taxicab, a hired car (with driver), a private minibus, being picked up by a friend or family member (in their private vehicle), driving your own vehicle (that you parked in the long stay lot at Gatwick upon your departure), or catching a bus, coach, train, or tube from Gatwick.  A taxicab or hired car with driver will be both the most expensive and the most convenient option, particularly if you have a lot of luggage.  The least expensive option will probably be driving your own vehicle but this also means that you’ll need to take care of your own luggage (this is also true when riding the train, coach, bus, or tube).  Since your friend or family member probably won’t be able to park in front of the terminal, this option can also be inconvenient if you have lots of luggage.
