Take the First Capital Connect train from Gatwick to Farringdon
At Farringdon change to the Hammersmith & City underground line towards Barking (you may have to change to a District Line at Whitechapel depending on the time of day)
Get off at East Ham and Essex Road is a 5 minute walk. Up High Street North, 6th turning on the right Shelley Avenue. Essex Road is the first turning on the left.
It might be quicker to take the train from Gatwick to London Bridge, Jubilee Line to West Ham, then District Line to East Ham. However, this has more changes and longer walks between train.

There are 14 Essex Roads in London, but I am going to assume it's Essex Road N1.
The train from Gatwick to Kings Cross takes about an hour and costs £8.90 per person. A taxi from Kings Cross would cost another £7/8. Link below to check train times.
An airport taxi would probably cost nearly £100 from the airport. If you have loads of luggage this can be a good option.
National Express (link below) would drop you in Victoria, but there would be a further distance to travel to Essex road than Kings Cross. The journey time is 1 hour 40 minutes.
If you want a different Essex Road, then you need to let us know ;)

Get a Southern Travelcard not a Gatwick Express or First Capital Connect one. Costs a few pounds cheaper and only takes 5 mins extra on the Southern Fast services from Platform 4 at Gatwick.
From Victoria, District Line to East Ham and walk up high Street if that is the one your after.
Journey time on average... 1 hour 40mins depending on connection.

You don't state which Essex rd. You are best off catching the Gatwick express train into central London ( or a coach ), then progressing by the underground. Follow the link to the London underground map: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/colourmap.pdf
Use national rail enquiries to find out about the Gatwick express train: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
Alternatively, if you mean how do you get from Gatwick to Essex by road then, M23,M25,A12, via the Dartford tunnel.

Avoid the public transport, which is just unacceptable in this country. Order a cab in advance - try to look for "airport transfer London" on Google, you will have a private car and a driver who will pick you up, and if there is 3 of you or more you will save money compared to you taking the mass transport.

Essex Road where? London is a big city and probably has dozens, if not more Essex Road's in different postal areas. If it is in the heart of London your starting point will be the National Express from Gatwick to London.

I will assume you are looking for Essex Road, N1, and require public transport as cheap as you can get?
Well, take the Gatwick Express straight in to Victoria station.
Change for the Northbound Victoria Line underground train for King's Cross - St Pancras.
Change at King's Cross - St Pancras for a Southbound Northern Line underground train for Angel.
At Angel, exit the station. As you leave the station, turn right, and keep walking up the road until you come to Islington Green (approx 3 minutes). Essex Road is the right-hand fork in the road.

May peace go with you throughout your life

right, go to tfl.gov and thats the website for travel in london using all the travel facilities. probably tube(underground train) might be confusing for you so take a bus. ask any bus driver about where you want to go.
a taxi would be the best if you can afford it!!
