  Yes, this sounds like the most reasonable thing to do.   I was not aware that there was that much available   accommodation in that area. But being that close to a   rail station I should have guessed.   Thanks for your reply.   -Kevin

Hi,   My girlfriend & I will be in London for a couple of   days in early June. Mid-week. We will be flying into   Gatwick via Shannon, Ireland. For the first nite I’m   looking for a reasonably priced B&B or Hotel fairly   close to Gatwick. Preferably someplace close to a nice   pub or restaurant. Does anybody have any suggestions?   For the second evening we would like to find something   relatively close to Victoria Station. I know this could   be quite expensive at that time of year. But it looks   like this would be perhaps the most convenient area   because we have to get back to Gatwick the following   day to fly back home to the States. Can someone   recommend a Hotel around Victoria?   Any help is greatly appreciated! -Kevin

There are scads of B&Bs within 15 minutes walk of Victoria Station.  If you wish to use the Tourist Office to locate a clean safe place, they have an office in the Victoria Station.  They have been very helpful to us in the past. If you wish to seach for one on your own, I’ve listed several within a few blocks of the station.  I am sure the prices have risen since I originally prepared the list, so I recommend you look at www.LondonTown for updated info.
