Gatwick approach on SRA

Hi folks...this will be my one and only post; although I do enjoy reading some of your conversations.Here is my question to the forum, which I guess is principally directed at that those of you who regularly use Gatwick. When doing SRAs into Gatwick (ie ILS is out for repair or more commonly due to routine maintenance on the main runway), at the 2nm (or more) point and having been given a Clear to Land from the Approach Director, how many of you then always make radio contact with the tower prior to touchdown ??OR do you sometime/always wait until you are taxiing before contacting the VCR ??My question is I think perhaps a little acedemic and there may not be a right or wrong solution. I just wanted to resolve a personal question as I have been told both and wanted to gauge some idea of percentages.Cheers
