PostHeaderIcon Which station is the easiest to change on Piccadilly Line when travelling from Heathrow to Victoria?

I will travel from Heathrow station to Victoria station on Sunday evening.

I want to avoid stairs or walking as much as possible because of suite cases and other luggages and because my mother has hip replacement.

Also, I find some station like Earl’s Court is quite confusing to change as District Line has many different destinations and signs are not so clear.

Could anyone tell me which station is the easiest to change please?

District Line: Hammersmith, Barons Court, Earl’s Court, Gloucester Rd, South Kensington
Victoria Line: Green Park.

Thank you for your time and help!!

Hammersmith or Baron’s Court - the transfer from Piccadilly to District lines is across the platform on both stations.

PostHeaderIcon Why is Gatwick Short Stay Car Park so expensive?

I want to pick my boyfriend up from Gatwick on Fri/Sat morning. I put in the times (arrive at 11pm - leave at 1am) on the Gatwick Car Park Pre Booking website and it says it will cost £20 for Short Stay, but only £8.70 for Long.

I dont want to stay in the Long as its further from the airport but i cant believe Short stay would be £10 an hour? Does anyone know what the rate is if you just go in there on the evening rather than pre-book?

Why do you want to be there for two hours? If you know the flight number, you can find the expected arrival time, before you start your journey, by going to the Gatwick Airport website & clicking on to Flight arrivals. This is something I do quite often, and I time it so that I arrive about 45 minutes after landing. By pre-arrangement with whoever I’m meeting, I pick them up from the short term car park and the fee, providing I’m no longer than 15 minutes, is £1.00p.
At South terminal the car park to pick up from is the short stay park 3 (orange). When meeting someone from North terminal, at an early hour of the morning recently, I actually picked them up from where I dropped them off at departures. There was no one around telling me to move on, so I avoided a parking fee altogether.
Presumably both you and your boyfriend will have mobile phones, so you should be able to arrange it quite easily, so that it costs you no more than a £1.00p.
