Really great to finally find a Canadian travel blogger...lol...will be following in some of your footsteps! Thanks for posting! 🇨🇦
Yay!! So excited for you!!! You’re going to have a great adventure!
I'm also from Vancouver and did the exact same journey 6 months ago from Gatwick to London Bridge. It's amazing seeing familiar landmarks like Tower Bridge and City Hall as you roll into the station. I took a cab, however, as it was only a few blocks to my hostel. Only costed £7 for the ride.
That's awesome!! I bet your trip was amazing!! I loved London, can't wait to go back!! So much more to see! What was your favorite part?
@@Sarahstratfordis London colder than NY I am planning to move in January. I am homeless currently not sure who to contact when I arrive yet but I'm coming from JFK
I have gone on that exact journey 10-15 times! This is nostalgia
It’s funny for me too because I filmed this my first time coming to London, and now I have lived here for 3 years 😂
You look the long train. There is a train when getting on from Gatwick only stops at East Croydon and London Bridge. And it’s windy because you are standing by the Shard which is the tallest building in the UK
Thank you!
You took the Thames Link train from the airport to the city.
Yes indeed
direct flights from Vancouver to Europe are the best! last time I got to London was on a Sunday morning and the platform my train to St. Pancras from Gatwick changed a couple times but eventually got to the right platform after talking to one of the staff around :)
That’s awesome 👏🏻 I love a direct flight. Can’t stand layovers!! I’d rather pay more and save time and energy/stress. That’s priceless!
I'll be taking the same rail from Gatwick to London in 4 days. Very excited too!
Hope you had a wonderful trip!!
Hi Sarah if you go to London again or any other country rent the sky roam solis or you can buy it you won’t have to buy a phone card or switch SIM cards and it has its own Wi-Fi and worked great my daughters friends went to Europe and rented one and it worked so well for them they bought it
Great advice!
I just found your channel! I love it! Good luck
Thank you so much my dear!! I appreciate you so much!!
I drive the thameslink trains, you were on the slower services, try get the cambridge or bedford services that are next stop east Croydon.then London bridge. They are the fast ones rather then the stoppers. Platform 4 normally.
Thank you for the tip!
:D First one. :D Nice video... :D
Aleatory Memories Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching!
You literally are taking the same route as me this helps a lot. Not from Vancouver but I’m under Alberta so somewhat same time zone at least 😂
lakerchamps100 that’s awesome!! Glad it helped you out with some details on how to get there ☺️👌🏻 when are you heading to London?
I head out there the 22nd of this month! Will be there until December 23. Do you recommend any great places in Vancouver area? Will be heading there in March to watch the Canuckle heads and the Golden Knights. Then off to Calgary that same weekend for Golden Knights Flames
That's coming up so soon!! You're going to have a blast. I recommend if you can to go visit Whistler- it's very beautiful any time of year, but it's a 2 hour drive from Vancouver. Also just go and walk around the sea wall- it's a beautiful walk and you get to see a lot of the nature the city has to offer. Check out Stanley Park too!
Very useful information. Thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Thank you!
Hi There! Amazing Video. This is my first international trip and i'm visiting london in the last week of sept' 18, just few days from now. Super excited..and looking at your video, i'm even more excited. My itenary is almost done, just that i'm still confused how to reach kensington from Gatwick airport. My hotel is booked there and i'm not sure if oyster will be available at gatwick or not. I will get an oyster at the hotel, but reaching at the hotel is still a question mark. Please suggest ! Thankyou in advance.
That's so awesome! You will have a wonderful time! Google maps is key for getting around- it tells you exactly how to get everywhere - just search the address from gatwick, and it will show you exactly the busses and trains to get there.!
I think this is a very nice vid.we are going to London via Gatwick from JFK.on Nov 3 -nov14.we thought the train from Gatwick went to kings cross.we are staying just south of London in a bed and breakfast.anyway thank you for this helpful vid.hope you had a nice time.
Hope you had an amazing trip!!! Thanks for watching!
London welcomed you with blue sky and high temperatures :) Yeap, it is quick and easy to get the phone/internet running. You are still running on adrenalin and you look excited and fresh. Hope you will not crash in a day or two and sleep 12 hrs in one piece :)))
Billy M yes it was a lot of adrenaline and excitement for sure!! London was beautiful when I arrived, now I’ve been gone for a couple month traveling Europe, excited to go back and explore more of London!
Love the burberry frames. :)
Thank you! They're my favorite glasses!
Beautiful 💫
Thank you! Cheers!
I like your video
New video soon?! I've been waiting haha I am planning to get the visa next year and move to England too so I'm excited to watch your journey!
Claire Paterson yes I am posting more tonight!! Thank you for following along! That’s super exciting, you’re going to love it! I have some videos of London coming tonight! Xoxo
What was the name of the SIM card that works all over Europe?
There are several companies but the one I used is from a cell phone provider called EE - they were super cheap and have good service everywhere!
The video was awesome. I was wondering how to use the transportation from the Gatwick to a hotel beside Hyde Park and compare it with the Taxi cost, especially with heavy luggage.
I think you would be ok to take the transport even with luggage, they are pretty flexible with escalators and what not. But if you really have big bags then I recommend downloading UBER and taking an uber instead of a taxi/cab in London because it's a fraction of the price.
Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Just to let you know Gatwick is border for Sussex and Surrey. Crawley, West Sussex side and Horley, Surrey side which is Greater London. I live in Crawley. Greater London was built after WW2 to rehome people who lost their homes in Central London from bombings etc.
Thanks for sharing!
@@Sarahstratford You're very welcome, thank you for visiting England and making a great video. Have a fabulous day.
No worries! Have a nice day
I will be visiting the UK in May. I have to go from London Gatwick to Ashford International in Kent County. Which do you prefer between London Victoria and St. Pancras Station? I was leaning toward St. Pancras as it is renovated. Thank you!
If you take the Gatwick Express to Victoria, take the tube to King's cross St. Pancras and then head to St. Pancras international station you will be fine
St. Pancras is High speed 1 and Vic is normal
They are both perfectly fine! My recommendation is to take the quickest and easiest route. Both stations are well cared for and very central.
Is it fine to take the train if I have lots of luggage? 2 suitcases and 2 handbags?
Definitely!! There are tons of people with lots of luggage on the train all the time!
Big up Horley
Not sure what that means
i need help i want to know what train or route i need for this same route getting to gatwick to london bridge
Hi! OK so when you get to the London Gatwick airport, you take the train called "London Bridge" right from the platform there. The platforms change all the time, but they're all in the same area, so you'll be able to ask someone there for help- or just have a look at the train display board to see which one says "London Bridge". You'll be great!! Best of luck xo
on the class 387 gatwick express

Nice video. 👍
Thank you for watching!! I just love my coffee a certain way haha
@@Sarahstratford Hi W.O.
I'm really a tea drinker.
I drink coffee about 5 times a year.
Americano could be a breed of dog for all I know. 😁
Remember people: don’t fall for Gatwick express. Do thameslink
What he said! Although I took the train and it cost me $10, which I don't think was too bad.
Gatwick is very hard to get to though it is easier when you take the Gatwick Express
It was easy for me, but the Gatwick express is definitely faster for sure!
@@Sarahstratford I am blind and I use Gatwick all the time whenever I fly out of the UK because I find it so easy
@@mattinfullvision9598 That's good to know, do you travel to and from the UK often? Where are you based out of?

thank you for the video ! ıt will be the first time to travel in England, and would you please tell me how ı get "orpington" from gatwick airport? ıs it easy to get the train services? I'm so late for this video, but ı need this info now. please advise
Hi! It’s super easy to take the trains! The best way to find them is with a free app called CityMapper - and it will show you how to get to Orpington from anywhere!
@@Sarahstratford thank you so much sarah 🤗😍
Enjoy your trip!
I know that you took a train... but What train did you take?? What are the steps ?
Here are the steps:
The Gatwick Express is the fastest way into Central London. Trains run every 15 minutes between Gatwick Airport's South Terminal and London Victoria Station every day from 5am to 00.30am. The journey time is 30 minutes and the service is non-stop to Victoria station.
Thank you for watching!!
pence, instead of cents.
Hi, is the number of the platform written on the ticket?
No it's not, but there are signs everywhere and always staff to help you if you get lost! I use google maps or a great app called "CityMapper" that's specifically for London that will help you get anywhere easily with a step by step guide.
Hi, did you get gatwick express, or regullary train, and did you buy ticket in advance ?
@@Sarahstratford did you get the ticket before online? Is it hard to find train ?
thanks for the vid but I clicked on this video because i was looking to find out how to get from gatwick to london, but nowhere on the video was explained this information, therefore the title is not related to the content.
Sorry it didn’t help but thanks for the feedback and for watching! Hope you enjoyed London!
Hi! What hostel did you stay in?
An absolutely terrible one, I wouldn’t recommend staying in any hostels in central London now that I live here. I’d rent an Airbnb! That was the first time I ever slept in a hostel and after that I switched to airbnbs because it was horrible for me, definitely not my thing! But I’m sure there might be some other ones that are better maybe with some research
"How to take the Train to London from Gatwick Airport!" or "I'm excited in London"!?!?
Very excited! Thanks for watching!
dont add the word "how" please
You're welcome
9 and a half minutes for a few minutes of information? Edit!
It's a vlog of my trip as well as the information my dear! Hope you enjoyed the journey! xoxo

I take the bus for 5 pounds.
The bus costs £1.50
@@Sarahstratford From Gatwick airport to Victoria Station? I took the bus from National Express and I believe it was £5. That was a few years back.
Perfect example of how women point a camera at themselves 90% of the time.
That’s the point of a Vlog you idiot
Hopefully you met some possible future boyfriends.
That’s a disturbing thing to say. I am married.
Holy Fuck,girl.Get it right will you. Talk about gaps and omissions. People would like to see factual incidents. Make your videos complete information,, not tidbits and gaps.
😂 thanks for watching!
