Fair enough. But I still think it's difficult to argue that 35 miles
away in Bedfordshire is London, while 41 miles away in Essex isn't...
The point is that they all *serve* London. Gatwick isn't much
closer...

IMHO the Rail to Terminal interchange at Gatwick is about as good as
it gets. There is a frequent rail service to many destinations. The
platform overbridge leads directly into the terminal building.

Unless you're flying into the other terminal. But it is pretty good.
