Thanks for further replies. Perhaps I should have pointed out that
there's four of them and that they're travelling at peak time (to arrive
at Queen's Gate at 9-9.30am for a visa application) so part-drive seemed
to them to be the cheaper option. Perhaps, though, I should look up
rail advance booking for them instead.

Thanks for the replies so far. The friends are leaving from Polegate
('twixt
Hasting and Eastbourne) area. Looking at the map, there's a station at
Sanderstead (which would take them to Victoria) that looks a
possibility --
anyone know that area? Any idea too of the taxi fare from Victoria
station to
Queen's Gate (2.5 miles, apparently)? TIA

So why don't they just catch the train from Polegate to Victoria (every
30 mins). I don't see the point of driving to some random station on the
outskirts of London and then getting the train from there.
