Transport and accommodation

Flights

Me and my love arrived to London Gatwick from Prague with EasyJet. The time of flights is great for euro-weekend:
  • Departure on Friday at 10:00 and return on Sunday at 18:10
  • Tips for booking to profit the lowest rate: 
    1. book in advance to get the lowest rate
    2. think twice if you need insurance proposed by EasyJet 
    3. same for luggage to check-in: you pay extra for each peace
    4. try to use Visa Electron - the lowest charged fee
  • = 110 Euro  return

Transport from Gatwick to London

The fastest way is Gatwick Express, an express train from South Terminal of Gatwick to Victoria Station in the center of London. Trains leave every 15 minutes and reach Victoria in 30 minutes (compare with shuttle / 1 hour). A good idea is to book in advance and online - special offers are available (I got return double for 66 Euros.)

We selected APEX City of London - in City, in proximity of Tower Bridge and Tower of London.
The nearest station of Underground is Tower Hill. Check the site of London transport.
