Do I Need UK Transit Visa – USA to India with Expired H1B and Valid B Visa September 16, 2018 17 I have one question for you regarding my travel from US to India via UK. If you're still not sure whether you need a visa, visit the UK's very handy online questionnaire Do I Need a UK Visa. It's a step-by-step questionnaire that will lead you to definitive answers on the visa conditions for citizens of your country and the kinds of visas that are available.
I am an Indian citizen and a Canada PR holder. I will be traveling Mumbai-Toronto via London. My Mumbai-London flight is landing at Heathrow at 7am London time, while the London-Toronto flight is from Gatwick, 4 hours later.
Would I need the UK Visitor In Transit visa to go from Heathrow to Gatwick?
As per the www.gov.uk website link https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/india/transit/somewhere_else/yes, I do not need an In Transit visa, but I am a bit confused between the DATV and Visitor In Transit Visa types.
Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks.

United Kingdom Transit visa when traveling to the US
Nepali passports holders will not need a UK transit visa at the London airport if they have a valid visa in their passport for travel to the United States or Canada. The rules state that a valid visa from the US or Canada must be stamped in the passenger’s passport. Permanent residents with a green card are allowed to travel via London for transit.On the other hand, folks who may have proper travel documents through asylum, or are in the process of getting a green card, will not be allowed to board a flight via the UK without a transit visa. These documents are a separate legal document that are recognized by the US for reentry, but not recognized by the British authorities for transit purposes.
