IIRC Paddington to Victoria is just under GBP15.00. However, Bakerloo

I completely agree. I always take minicabs to airports, I just can't be
arsed with public transport not least because it'll probably go wrong
anyway. However I got the train+tube home from gatwick last week because I
wasn't in a hurry and so ended up sitting outside purley for 10 minutes then
a slow slog all the way to victoria. Ended up taking over 2 hours to get home
to north london. The flight was only 3! Next time I'll just get a cab and
hang the cost.
