    Train. Southern run the service. If you stick to a specific time you may be able to get a discount ticket. Otherwise it's about £20 return for the anytime ticket.

    Check out nationalrail.co.uk for details.

    If you get a FCC train to East Croydon it's £4.50. Then get off and tag on with an Oyster, take the train to Clapham Junction.

    That's the cheapest way by train.

    It's could be quicker too. It's definitely the quickest way to Balham yet I rarely take that route.

    Must start doing so and start saving me some £.

    Is there a handy enough place to tap your oyster at East Croydon?

    Platform 4 at LGW, Southern trains run every 15 minutes and are £20 return. Some only stop at East Croydon en route. Some stop as many as 6 times before CJ - luck of the draw.

    I have done Battersea to passing security at Gatwick in 35 minutes - if you live in south London impress upon your Irish visitors that other airports will only eat into their time in London. Gatwick all the way.
