Gatwick does not need to mean a straight journey into central London. Its position makes it useful for several different South East itineraries.

Coast, countryside, historic towns and the landscapes of Sussex provide a very different alternative to heading straight into London.
Explore the South East →South Downs
Rolling chalk landscapes, villages and walking country make the South Downs a natural part of a wider Sussex itinerary.
Discover the region →Surrey
Historic towns, countryside and easy connections into the wider South East make Surrey worth considering rather than simply passing through.
Explore nearby →Kent
