Euros? What kind of AI slop are you talking about?

You go to Gatwick airport you take a train, which is very good (although pricey), same for most of the main airports around London.

You should definitely avoid crossing London by Uber, as there are plenty of excellent public transport options.



Like most UK rail, it’s anywhere between somewhat expensive and _outrageously_ expensive, depending on exactly when you buy the ticket and how. Looks like it cost me 9.50 last time I was there, which is not _horrific_ for an airport (airport transport generally being a bit of a ripoff), but the barely-faster Gatwick Express would have been far more.

(The UK rail system is a uniquely user-hostile one, in that it seems designed to fool you into paying more than you have to.)

Also nonsense. I lived and worked in London for over a decade and even when I lived in an outer zone the car sat idle for 95% of the time.

Driving in London is a mug’s game. Your car journey is almost certainly unnecessary.


congratulations mate

however tens of thousands must drive daily and not for pleasure

were you never short of time to go to the airport, insufficient to go to London Bridge?

were you never drunk and felt like taking a cab?

of course you are not over 65, they actually hate the tube when they have a medical appointment and would rather take a cab

your experience is not the only one but congratulations if you always had a tube station near you
