Take the Gatwick Express to Victoria Stn. (30 minutes *iff* it's running
on time.) If you're quick about it you should still be able to take the
underground to Paddington (check at Victoria to see if it's still running
when you get there). From Victoria underground, take the Circle Line
westbound to Edgware Road station, which is right across the stret.
