Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Pound Sterling, GBP
Use ATMs for best rates; avoid currency exchange at Gatwick Airport or hotel desks — they mark up badly.
Contactless cards and Apple/Google Pay accepted almost everywhere, including buses and small shops, but keep a few pounds for corner shops or market stalls.
Not expected. Restaurants may add 10% for big groups; otherwise round up the bill or leave a pound or two for good service. Taxis: round up to nearest pound. Hotel porters: £1–2 per bag.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Filter or instant coffee at a café or petrol station, around £2–2.50.
A supermarket meal deal (sandwich, snack, drink) for about £4, or a pub lunch special for £8–10.
A main at a chain pub or curry house: £12–15.
Not a street-food area — best cheap eats are pub lunch deals and supermarket meal deals around Gatwick and Crawley town centre.
Tesco, Asda, and Lidl are the main budget supermarkets in the RH6 area.
Crawley town centre has high-street chains like Primark, M&S, and Tesco clothing, plus a small market on certain days.
The cheapest way around is walking or a bus day pass (about £5). From Gatwick Airport to central London: take the Thameslink train (about £15–20 off-peak) rather than the pricier Gatwick Express.
Buy a railcard if travelling beyond London. Avoid eating at airport outlets — walk 5 minutes to Manor Royal or Crawley town. Use supermarket meal deals for quick, cheap food.
