Victoria itself is reasonably convenient for the purposes of the wedding, but ultimately we're just looking to get from Gatwick and into to city, showered and into bed as quickly as possible because we have to be in at least a semi-lucid state by 7:00 that night. I would prefer my first impression to her extended family be something other than me squinting, grunting and nodding after being awake for 24 or more hours.

If we were arriving earlier in the morning paying for the previous night would be a little more palatable, but I guess that is just what we're dealing with.
