Best Answer

Using the TFL route planner on http://tfl.gov.uk going from Gatwick Airport to Barbican (which is the nearest underground station) and only allowing buses and coaches and leaving on Sunday the 18th at 10am it suggests:

Depart 10:05

5 mins : Walk to Gatwick Airport, South Terminal Bus Station #nrc

1 hr 10 mins: Express bus ESB3 to Waterloo Station / York Road

11 mins : RV1 bus to Waterloo Bridge / South Bank

15 mins: 4 bus to Barbican station

Arrive: 12.06 - journey time: 2hr 1min

If you were to ignore coaches (which are really just a type of bus), you are given:

Depart 10:02

10 mins: Walk to Gatwick Airport, A23 South Terminal

23 mins: 420 bus to Redhill Bus Station

41 mins: 405 bus to Whitgift Centre

1hr 0 mins: 468 bus to Elephant and Castle Station

5 mins: Walk to Elephant and Castle / London Road

18 mins: 63 bus or 45 bus to Snow Hill (EC1)

10 mins: Walk to Barbican (London), Barbican

Arrive: 13:06 - journey time 3hrs 4 mins

Allowing all transport modes gives the following quick route:

Depart 10:03

49 mins: Southern train to London Victoria Rail Station

3mins: Underground Victoria Line to Oxford Circus Underground Station

5mins: Underground Central line to St Paul's Underground Station

9mins: Walk to King Edward Street (EC1)
