Planning your arrival in the UK and wondering about the easiest way to travel to Brighton from London airports? Here’s a handy breakdown of the most convenient airports and transport options for reaching Castle School in the heart of Brighton.
Gatwick Airport (Recommended)
If you land at Gatwick Airport, you’re in luck – this is the nearest major airport to Brighton. A direct train from Gatwick to Brighton takes as little as 26 minutes, with fares from around £8–£20 when booked in advance. Alternatively, you can choose a coach or we can arrange a private transfer for you, especially if you’re carrying large suitcases.
Heathrow Airport
From Heathrow Airport you can travel by coach directly to Brighton in around 1 hour 45 minutes, with fares starting from about £35 one-way. If you’d rather, you can take the train via London, or organise a private airport transfer for a hassle-free door-to-door journey.
Stansted & Luton Airports
If your flight arrives at Stansted Airport or Luton Airport, you can still reach Brighton easily. Both airports offer public transport options—typically coach or train via London. The journey is longer than from Gatwick or Heathrow, but it still remains entirely manageable, and we’re happy to help you plan or book a private transfer.
Wherever you arrive, getting from a London airport to Castle School in Brighton is straightforward. For the smoothest experience with luggage and arrival time, many students choose a private transfer. If you need help arranging this, just let us know ahead of time.
