which is the fastest and the cheapest route to go from Hyde Park or regents park to Gatwick airport?

Gatwick Express from Victoria station is quickest, but not the cheapest. Slower trains, or by Coach are cheaper options.

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 How do I get from Gatwick to Hyde Park (Lancaster Gate tube station)?

thanks

The first leg of your journey is very straightforward: as most others have suggested, take the Gatwick Express train — that takes you straight from the airport to Victoria station in 30 mins.
When you buy your Gatwick Express ticket, get a combined London Transport one-day ticket, valid for zone 1 buses and tubes (or a visitor’s Oystercard if you’ll be using public transport at other times during your stay). You can see the options for visitors’ ticket options here: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/faresandtickets/1067.aspx

To make the rest of your journey as easy as the first part, hop on the number 148 bus from Victoria Street, immediately facing the station as you come out of the main entrance. You’ll need a bus going towards Shepherd’s Bush.

The 148 will take you direct to Lancaster Gate station. Makes life easier — no changes, no managing escalators with luggage, plus you get to see a bit of London as you go by. The bus journey’s about 20 minutes.
