Coach from Luton Airport to London
Reach central London from Luton Airport in as little as 40 minutes from just £7 one-way*, with up to 47 daily services running around the clock. Skip the stress of arranging a shuttle bus to Luton Airport Parkway or battling traffic on the M1 step straight onto a coach outside the terminal and relax while we take you directly into the heart of London.
With up to 9 stops across London - including Golders Green, Baker Street, Paddington, Marble Arch, and Victoria there's a good chance we stop close to where you need to be. That means less dragging your suitcase across town on connecting services. Each passenger can bring 1 large suitcase (or 2 medium cases) plus 1 soft hand luggage item, so you have plenty of room for everything you're travelling with.
Every ticket comes with a guaranteed seat, so there's no competing for space even on the busiest travel days. If your flight is delayed or your plans change, our flexible ticket options keep things simple. Standard tickets let you board a similar service within 3 hours either side of your booked departure, and our Fully Flexible fare gives you even more freedom to amend. Your coach picks you up right at the terminal door no shuttle buses, no long walks to a distant station.
