Public transport from Gatwick Airport to Croydon?
I need a locost way to get from Gatwick airport (RH6 0NP) to CR2 8YA. My flight lands at 2210 on the 28th of August, so probably leaving around half
past.
So far Ive got really expensive taxis, and some express busses that go straight into London.
Does anyone local have any ideas?
Cheers

Trainline suggests Gatwick to East Croydon is £5 single. Trains run every 10 mins or so.
Then you are 3 miles from East Croydon to the postcode given. Can't be more than a £10 in a mini cab? Or risk a bus?

no problem with cabs at all. EC is on a major route. You shouldn't have any problems at all.
Total journey using the fast train (15 mins same price) will probably be less than 30mins
Enjoy Croydon!

i live in cr8
I think a ticket is about £7 to Croydon.
Purley is a decent train station too and nearer the residential areas south of croydon so try seeing it that stop is good for you.
if it was earlier in the day i would suggest picking you up as i am round that way after gym
