Gatwick airport is the second most busy airport in the UK right after the Heathrow, another airport in London. Located about 30 miles south of central London, Gatwick primarily serves the London area but has many bus lines going to and from there to take passengers to other destinations around the UK. The rail line also connects Gatwick to central London for people looking to go directly into the city. Gatwick opened as an aerodrome in the 1920’s and has served as a hub for commercial flights since the 1930’s. If you’re traveling to London soon and are looking for a place to stay near Gatwick so you can catch an early morning or late night flight, read on the following list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Gatwick, Great Britain.
