I'd say Heathrow. Get Heathrow Express train (15 quid each way) to Paddington and the District Line direct to Earls Court.
Next, in terms of ease:
There's a fast train to Victoria from Gatwick and you can get a tube or cab to Earls Court within 30 mins.
City Airport: trains to Bank, then District Line from Monument (station adjoins Bank Station).
Luton: get coach to Victoria, or Thameslink train to Kings Cross, District Line west to Earls Court.
Stansted: 45 minute train to Liverpool Street, longish tube journey to Earls Court.
From Heathrow you can get the piccadilly line (tube) to central london much cheaper than Heathrow express.Quote:

True, but Heathrow Express takes 15 mins, the Picc Line takes forever!
What good bars is there in Fulham?

Yes, and Ireland has a 100% record when PO'S and I drink there before a game.
Stutts thats the greatest act of charity anybody has done for this country of ours. Fair play to you, you are a hero.

Just booked Ryanair to Gatwick midday Friday, back 9pm Saturday for the sum of €27.50 inc all taxes, the taxi last time from Gatwick was €40 between 8, mind you only 2 of us on this flight....anyone else arriving into Gatwick at 1pm want to share a taxi??
Yeah I am flying on that flight. Ryanair Dept. 11.35 arriving 12.50 Dublin to Gatwick
We're on that flight too. I think we're getting a train into the city though.
Naitch, just to let you know if your flying into Gatwick and want to get in on the cheap you can book an easybus online for 2 Pounds(Yes, JUST 2 pounds) that doesn't stop anywhere and drops you straight to Fulham Broadway Tube station. Earls Court is 5 minutes away from there by tube or if 20 minutes walk. The Gatwick Express only goes to Victoria and cost about 26 pounds aswell. Brogan's is a decent pub for match banter in Fulham Broadway but the Cottage is about half an hour walk away and is down on Putney Bridge, where there's way more variety of boozers custom built for pre match banter so just head there.
