Question
David, When I am in London, I want to meet someone at Victoria Station who has just come in on the train from Gatwick Airport.  Where would be a good spot in the station to suggest as a meeting place?  We need some place that is easy to find and we don't need it to be a restaurant. Thanks!  Ruth West

Answer
Ruth,

Gatwick Express trains arrive on platforms 13/14 at Victoria.  The Express ticket office is located where those platforms empty into the station.  Unfortunately, there is no real dedicated waiting area, so I guess meeting near the Gatwick Express ticket office is a good bet.  Once you get inside of Victoria station proper, you're in a huge, crowded hall and picking a meeting spot is a bit more daunting.

Hope this is helpful.
