Gatwick Airport Mini Guide

Welcome to Gatwick Airport
Home today to the busiest single use runway in the world it’s hard to believe that Gatwick Airport started life as a small flying club in the 1930’s. Located approximately 45 kilometres from London’s city centre and situated on the site of a former manor house, Gatwick provides a perfect entry to the south of England. In these times of recession, it is one of the few airports worldwide that is seeing a year-on-year increase in passenger numbers through a prudent business plan and facilities for low cost carriers.

How do I get There? 
Drive, Park and ride, Coach, Bus, Taxi or Hackney (the latter if you’re feeling flush). Gatwick is easily accessible from central London. There are more than 11 trains per hour that can deliver you to the airport directly from the city centre. Over 150 coaches connect the airport to cities nationwide.

Gifts at Gatwick
Whether shopping for yourself or for loved ones back home there are shops to satisfy all tastes and budgets at Gatwick. For a beautiful selection of typically British souvenirs head to Glorious Britain and for the perfect gift for any whisky lover you have got to check out the range at the World of Whiskies store. It’s an amazing trove, stocking almost 350 different malts including rare bottles to ensure you won’t be disappointed.

For the young and young at heart in your life, a visit to the world famous Hamley’s toy store is a must, whether you choose from their own classic range or the latest modern themes, quality is assured.

From the thoughtful provision of dedicated family lanes for passing through security and immigration to Kid Zones in the departure lounges, Gatwick strives to make travel for families a pleasant experience. Offering fantastic kids play areas that provide comfy seating for parents the Kids Zones are free of charge and well worth a visit allowing children to burn up some energy and giving parents a chance to relax.

Each capsule has its own private shower and toilet, comfy bed, TV and free Wi-Fi facilities.

For  a great start to your day in a cosy 50’s themed restaurant, drop in to Frankie & Benny’s, featuring an open plan kitchen and in an amazingly welcoming atmosphere you’ll find yourself almost transported to Little Italy and the Big Apple.
