On average, getting from London Victoria to Brighton takes one hour by using the Gatwick Express. You’ll travel south towards the English Channel, passing through Gatwick Airport, and then head straight towards Brighton.
Gatwick Express offers a regular service between London Victoria Station and Brighton that helps connect passengers with Gatwick Airport.
London Victoria Station is an excellent station from which to depart. It’s well located, just a few minutes walk from Buckingham Palace, and boasts rail links that serve stations across the south east—a great place to begin your journey to Brighton if you’ve come from elsewhere. If you’re using public transport, then the station also boasts a coach station and is connected to the London Underground via the Victoria Line.
Alongside Gatwick Express, Southern Railways and Southeastern Railways also operate from London Victoria and serve the wider south east region.
With Gatwick Express, there are only two stops from London Victoria to Brighton: Gatwick Airport and Haywards Heath. It’s worth considering that these routes may change due to adverse weather conditions, train faults, engineering works, or scheduling alterations. So, it’s best to double-check before you travel.

Arriving at Brighton places you in the heart of England’s most iconic seaside town. Located at the intersection of Terminus Road and Trafalgar Street, it’s only a fifteen-minute walk to Brighton’s legendary beach and pier. There are tons of exciting pubs, nightlife, and restaurants near the station, too, not to mention Brighton’s swathes of trendy cafes.
Depending on when you arrive in Brighton, you might even see the spectacular murmurations – starlings performing their aerial ‘dance’ as they return from across the Sussex countryside. You need to get up early, though, the murmurations usually occur around dusk and only in the winter. The station itself is decorated in suave and elegant Victorian architecture, and it has ferried tourists from London to Brighton for generations.
Three rail operators run from Brighton and run services into London and throughout the wider south coast. These are Gatwick Express, Southern Railway, and Thameslink.
