From Gatewick to Heathrow?

Question

I'm arriving from Madrid to Gatewick and I have 6 hours for sightseeing before I fly over to Mexico from Heathrow airport. Any advices on what to see on my way from one airport to another and the best (fastest, cheapest) way to get there?

Answer 1

I assume you mean Gatwick.

It can take about 1 hour just to reclaim your baggage. Then you have to clear immigration this can take another hour.

By road the coach takes about 2 hours from Gatwick to Heathrow and you need to be at Heathrow about 2 hours before your flight departs. That leaves no time for sight-seeing.

There are coaches services between the two airports. Speak to the airline you are using. It might be included in your ticket. If it's not the expect to pay about £40 one way.
