Gatwick ATPL Venue

What's this venue like and is there any useful accommodation close by and near transport? There's an Ibis though not sure if it's walkable or bus. Any other info on venue appreciated.

There s a bus system around Gatwick that stops at the end of the road to the CAA building, so in practice it may not matter which hotel. I use the Travelodge myself which is is by the North terminal. Very clean and the food is OK (the breakfast is excellent) and only cost £30 if you book far enough in advance.

A quick Google search gives you the address of the venue direct from the CAA website https://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-ind...am-timetables/.

You can then search websites for Travelodge, Premier Inn, Holiday Inn, Ibis etc and then put their postcodes in to http://maps.google.co.uk to check out public transport options to/from the CAA address. Most of these hotels will have varying degrees of on-site food options, some better than others.

With all due respect, and whilst it's ok to ask for recommendations, it's difficult to do the research on your behalf as we don't know your financial circumstances and/or what exactly you are looking for. These things are easily discovered online with a a little bit of digging.

The "venue" is like a school classroom set up for an exam. But it's next-door to the main CAA building which has a waiting area, cafe etc.

Most of the roads around there are walkable, depending on how far you like to walk, but bear in mind heavy rain and morning traffic might not be a nice way to start your day on foot. Buses are extensive and can be found on Google Maps.
