Welcome to Departures

This is your guide to discovering London and Southeast England by train

Welcome aboard, it’s time to start your next adventure.

Just arrived at Gatwick or Luton? Perhaps it’s your first trip on Gatwick Express or Thameslink, or you’re a familiar face.

Over the next few pages, we’re taking you on a journey of travel inspiration, expert travel hacks and delight. There’s so much to explore with Gatwick Express, Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern, your mainline train operators. My team of professional passengers, as well as some special guests, have scoured the region to bring you simple, easy and gorgeous travel itineraries and inspiration.

Every stop has a story.
