London's second airport, holiday mode

Ben H.LeisureTerminal North
Pros

The train into central London is fast and the airport handles leisure crowds reasonably well.

Cons

Security queues can stretch during peak holiday getaways and seating gets scarce.

Gatwick is where a lot of British holidays begin, and it has that unmistakable getaway buzz. The express train into London is quick and the sensible option over driving. My main frustration was the security line during the summer rush, which had me shuffling forward for quite a while.
