London Tattoo trip...

So I'm getting my first tattoo finally! I'm getting it done during a day trip to London during my stay in Amsterdam this June.
http://www.evenmoreblack.com/site/?page_id=8 ( Artist Matth @ PureInk London)
I have to decide between Thursday June 23 or Friday the 24. It will be a day trip I'll leave AMS at 8:55 on SleazyJet. Returning at 18:50 from LGT. I will be using the Gatwick Express going both to and from..\\
Aside from small differences in price are there any disadvantages to air and train travel between the U.K and E.U. on Friday? Is there bigger commuter congestion with people filling airports for weekend travel? I'm new to the commuter scene and this will be my first SleazyJet experience..
Thank you.

In answer to your question, no, it will always be busy.
To be honest I can't see any real hassles, I regularly travel to London, week day and weekends. Flying into and out of LGW is fine as is the Gatwick Express unless someone has thrown themselves onto the line (doesn't happen too much thankfully) so about 25 mins to Victoria. Just be sure to check if you are flying out of south or north terminal. If north you will have to get the wee shuttle from south, the Gatwick Express leaves you into south so it's a piece of piss if that's where you're departing from.
Enjoy and remember the bepanthen

bit off topic, but wherebouts is the studio?, if its anywhere near the east end you have to try salt beef bagels from brick lane,
i guarantee youve never had anything like it,
they even get new yorkers rating them as the best bagels in the world,
yes you really do get that much, but unless you like your english mustard, id have it without
they even made documentries about this place

It's at 37 Burwick Street W1F8RS... Methinks that is in SoHo. I'll have to Gmap it and see if I can get there because that, my friend, looks awesome... Please confirm adress as being 159 Brick Lane. For the Beigel.

Thanks for the spell check.
As far as the GE. The return ticket is for Gatwick to Victoria. I would then have to get to Oxford circus near Berwick st.. Can you please tell me which line(s) I have to take to get from Victoria to Oxford Circus?
And How about mustard on the side? Is it like Coleman's?
thank you..
