    The cheapest way from Gatwick to London is with an advance purchase single ticket on Southern trains - £3 or £5.

    They are also cheapest on the day - and only slightly slower than the very much more expensive Gatwick Express.

    Easybus is also cheap - but dumps you in Fulham, not central London

    Yes, Southern Trains is by far the cheapest.

    Service is generally reliable but watch out on a Sunday - If there are going to be delays due to engineering works, this is when it will happen.
