Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me, I am arriving at Gatwick airport 9:20AM and need to catch a flight from Healthrow at 5:45PM, what would be the best way to get to Heathrow without spending huge amounts of money?
Thx

You got enough time to take a train into central London, have lunch and then take the tube to Heathow

Several years ago, I caught a shuttle bus that operated between the two airports.
Can't remember the price. It took about an hour.

I'll add a few details to #1. A one-day zone 1-6 off-peak (after 09:30) travelcard costs £6.70. Since Gatwick is beyond zone 6, you'll have to buy a ticket to get from Gatwick to zone 6, thus bringing your total to around £11. Your travelcard will not be good on the Gatwick Express so take a Southern train from Gatwick to Victoria (40 minutes).
If you want to explore a bit on foot, use the left luggage facilities at Victoria Station.
Allow one hour for the tube ride from central London to Heathrow.
Go to www.tfl.gov.uk to download and print a tube map.
If you're not packing light and have a lot of luggage, take a National Express coach directly from Gatwick to Heathrow as described by #7. See the timetables and fares here.

Southern Trains doe a ticket that gives you free transport on all London buses & Tubes for the day. You can buy this at Gatwick Airport train station from the ticket office.
You must use the Southern Train service to Victoria which at 10:30-11:00am will be very quiet.
You should leave central London by 2:00pm in order to get your onward flight
