Our advice would be to take the Gatwick Express train from the airport which runs every 15 minutes to Victoria Station in London. The ride takes 35 minutes and costs approximately £11. If you have heavy luggage, it is best to take a taxi from Victoria Station to the hotel at a cost of approximately £9 to £10. If you do not have a heavy suitcase, then you can take the Number 2 or Number 82 bus from outside Victoria Station to Gloucester Place.

Get off the bus and walk into George Street towards Gloucester Place, turn right at the traffic lights and the hotel , No. 33 Gloucester Place, is on your left. The journey time is 1 hour 30 minutes from Stanstead Airport. The bus ticket is approximately £10 one way and approximately £15 return.

2. Take the train to Liverpool Street Station (there is one every half hour). At Liverpool Street, if your luggage is heavy you can take a taxi to the hotel (cost approximately £20) or the Underground to Marble Arch and either walk or take a very short taxi ride to the hotel (approximately £5).
