There are a number of car parks on site, and the airport is easily accessible from the M25 and then along the M23 route – although the motorway gets extremely busy during rush hour. Regular buses to the station operate 24 hours a day between the airport and Victoria Station. There is a regular bus service, number x26, which operates between the airport and East Croydon railway station, although this is only recommended for passengers with minimal luggage. London Gatwick has good shopping at both the north and south terminals. You can pick up pretty much anything you need for your holiday while you are waiting for your flight at London Gatwick Airport shops such as Hargreaves Sports, La Senza, and Vittorio, as well as the usual large Duty Free emporium. There are two terminals at London Gatwick Airport that deal with international and domestic flights. The most important tenant of the North Terminal is British Airways, and other carriers that operate there include Emirates, American Airlines, Etihad Airways, and SN Brussels. The more modern South Terminal building is home to a number of predominantly charter airlines alongside Virgin Atlantic, US Airways, and EasyJet. |
