How to book cheap train tickets from Gatwick Airport to London Waterloo

Season Tickets for frequent travel

Are you frequently traveling between Gatwick Airport and London Waterloo on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis? Season Tickets provide unlimited travel during specific times, allowing you to freely hop on and off trains between two stations without worrying about individual ticket bookings, and offering significant savings in the process.

Network Railcard for South East England

For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in South East England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.

Traveling in off-peak train times

Off-Peak train tickets are generally cheaper than peak-time tickets, allowing travel outside morning (6:30 AM–9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM–7:00 PM) rush hours on weekdays. If your schedule allows for flexibility, choosing off-peak times for your trip from Gatwick Airport to London Waterloo can result in significant cost savings.

Get 1/3 off with a Railcard

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from Gatwick Airport to London Waterloo for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16–25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.

Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets involves buying separate, cheaper tickets for different parts of your journey on the same train instead of just one ticket for the entire trip. For instance, if you're traveling from Gatwick Airport to London Waterloo, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket. This method is perfectly legal and often doesn't require leaving your seat.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are usually released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can be significantly cheaper than tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from Gatwick Airport to London Waterloo ahead of time and securing your tickets early, you can save up to 61% on the cost of your travel.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group, be sure to check out group travel discounts. Many train companies offer a ⅓ off standard fares for groups of three to nine people, making traveling from Gatwick Airport to London Waterloo more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
