Question

How to get to willesden tube station from gatwick airport?

Answer 1

There are two tube stations:

One is  "Willesden Green" on the "Jubilee line" and the other is "Willesden Junction"  on the "Bakerloo line".

"Willesden Junction" is a shared tube and train station.

They are about 1.5 miles apart so it will probably save you a lot of walking if you go to the correct tube stop depending on where you are going. The tube stop "Dollis Hill" is actually closest to the center of Willisden

Answer 2

This really depends if you're going to Willesden, or Willesden Green Tube Stations?

If you're going to Willesden Green your best bet is to get the First Capital Connect train from Gatwick to St Pancras, when you get there jump off and wait on the same platform for another First Capital Connect train to Cricklewood.  When you get there Willesden Green is a 15 minute walk (turn right outside Cricklewood Station, keep going accross the Cricklewood High Road and you'll get there soon enough).  There are also buses that leave from the corner near the traffic lights, just wait for a 260 or 460 which will go straight past Willesden Green Tube.  Otherwise you can jump off at St Pancras and wait for a train to West Hampstead Thameslink, from there its a short walk to West Hampstead Underground, and two stops on the Jubilee Line to Willesden Green.

If you're going to Willesden Junction Tube Station you're probably better off getting the Gatwick Express to Victoria, then Victoria Line to Oxford Circus and Bakerloo Line to Willesden Junction.

Good luck!
