Kingston is almost on the way between LHR and LGW but it'a an awful place to
get to and from by car and you'd need to allow at least 5 hours (2 hours to
fight through the traffic, park and find the shop, 1 hour to shop, and 2
hours to Gatwick, particularly if you're in the rush hour)
By train it is probably not much better, requiring as it would require a
trip into London via tube, then out from Waterloo to Kingston, then probably
back up to London, or certainly close to it, to get a Gatwick train.
I'm tempted to say not to bother. Our prices are 50% more than yours
anyway...

| I will be attending a meeting for work at a hotel near Heathrow 12/1 and 12/2 and wondering if any of the LEGO Brand Stores are near by? Looking at the LEGO.com web site, it appears that the Kinstron-Upon-Thames store ((URL) is probably the closest. (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.uk)
