By Tube

South Kensington (District, Circle and Piccadilly Lines) and High Street Kensington (District and Circle Lines) are the closest Underground stations to the Hall. Walking to the Hall takes approximately 10 minutes from both stations.

Use this and see how you get on:

Let us know if you're still stuck. I will set up a Friday pre-meet

Yep, South Kensington tube is best. Follow the signs to 'Museums' which will lead you down an underground walkway past the V&A, Science and Natural History museums. Walk all the way to the end, go up the steps, turn left at the top of the steps and its a few minutes walk after that. This route is very handy if it is raining too!

I'm a local, the Gatwick Express is a big flashy train and basically a bit of a rip off unless you are in a real hurry to get where you are going. Just get the cheapest train for that journey you can find, it's not far anyway.

Thanks a million. I've flown into Gatwick many times before and I've always taken the Gatwick express for pure convenience. I never even thought to check out any other options. I will now. Cheers.
