 London to Ware (Herts) and on to Gatwick airport same day 

Hello - we'd like to go from London to Ware,Hertfordshire in the morning on a Saturday, spend a few hours there and then go to Gatwick airport in time for a flight at 5 pm. Would appreciate advice re how to do this. (1) how much time should we budget for this trip - the map says that it is ~ 70 mils from London to Ware and ~75 miles from Ware to Gatwick airport. (2) are there trains or buses? If so, would you please post the names of the rail and bus companies (3) Can we rent a car in London and return it at Gatwick airport..

Thanks in advance for your helpful suggestions

Your map is seriously adrift. It's about 25 miles by road from London to Ware and 45 minutes by train from Liverpool Street station - National Express East Anglia run the service

The distance on the return journey looks more like it - round the M25

By train it's a two hour journey - Ware to Tottenham Hale by NXEA, Victoria Line to Victoria the Gatwick Express from there. (On a through ticket there seems to be no extra fare for the Gatwick Express so you might as well use it)

It's going to be a rush and you won't get that long in Ware
