travel to Gatwick

[Nigello]

Even bus/train at F Hill/change at E Croydon from Goodrich School area can take less than 45 mins on a good day and generally just under an hour. Travelling light helps!

Or Uber to FH, train to EC and change (its an easy change with lift access to all platforms).

We've done this a few times in the past few months, full loaded with luggage. Easily done in 45 mins or even less if the stars align!

I'd use Oyster between Forest Hill and East Croydon, then get a single paper ticket for ?5.40. It's a steal!

You can use oyster all way to Gatwick now. Tap out at airport. Cheap as chips

Might be cheaper than buying a ticket. Saves time as well.

I've had a look and it depends on what time you leave.

Forest Hill to Gatwick off-peak is ?6.20, but ?9.90 during the peaks.

East Dulwich to Gatwick off-peak is ?7.00 and ?10.40 during the peak.

East Croydon to Gatwick off-peak is ?3.20 and ?5.30 during the peak.

So during the peaks at least, it may be cheaper to use Oyster to touch in and out at East Croydon and don't touch out during the off-peak.
