I've never been to London before and I am taking the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station.

First of all, my wife and I stayed at the Thistle Marble Arch last year and were very happy with our room. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.
As far as getting there, there's the 'least expensive' way and the 'most convenient' way.
The least expensive way is to go on the London Underground (the tube). If you choose this route, you can take the tube out of Victoria station, and the Thistle Marble Arch is a short walk away from the Marble Arch tube stop.
That's the good news. If you take the underground, the challenge is that you have to take two trains to get there. You buy your ticket, go through the turnstile, and go to the Victoria Line. You then have to transfer trains to the Central Line, to get to your stop. Changing trains means a walk and an escalator ride to get to the correct platform. If you are carrying a lot of luggage, you may find that you don't enjoy this transferring, because it is a little bit of a hassle. In that case, just take a taxi - it'll be a bit more expensive, but not sky high.
As far as the Underground, depending on how many days you will be in London, you might want to consider a daily or 3-day ticket.
Enjoy your trip!

no its not. the cheapest way is to walk, just playing, the cheapest way is the 36 bus from victoria station to marble arch, and then you don't have to change. its also easier then lugging your luggage up and down escaltors
