When you are travelling around the United

hiring a car. The UK has so many different cities of great interest and unlike
some countries such as The United States of America or Germany; it is possible
to drive between cities in a short space of time. London is obviously the main
tourist hub in the United Kingdom and if you are heading into London, hiring a
car will provide you with a great degree of flexibility in making the most of
your trip.
If you arrive at Luton Airport, as an
increasing number of travellers are, you will find that there are plenty of car
hire options to choose from. Of course, if you are unable to drive a car or you
do not feel confident about driving on British roads, you need to look into
other transport options. There are a number of travel options available from
Luton Airport and no matter where you are heading to or what your budget is,
you will find that there is a viable option to choose.
Hiring a taxi is one of the quickest and
convenient ways to get from Luton Airport to London. While hiring a taxi can be
a more expensive option that other forms of public transport, it is often the
simplest and most convenient method. When you hire a taxi at Luton Airport,
you can rest assured you receive an affordable and direct method of travel. If
you are new to the UK or you don’t know where your hotel is, a door to door
service is highly valuable. This is where the value for money in hiring a taxi
at Luton Airport comes to the fore.
You can arrive in London for an affordable price

a more affordable way to travel into the heart of London from Luton Airport.
There are regular buses leaving from stances outside the main departures
building which will take you to London. Given that Luton Airport is the main
transport hub for Easyjet, it is no surprise to find that the budget airline
provides additional services to the main tourist areas of London. There are

Travellers that prefer to take the train
can do so from Luton Airport in London and surrounding areas. There is a free
shuttle bus service running from outside Luton Airport to the nearby Luton
Parkway train station. The shuttle service takes around 10 minutes and the
connecting journey into London can take around 40 minutes. The main London
train stations serviced on this route are St Pancras International, London
Bridge, Blackfriars, City Thameslink and Farringdon. A taxi can be faster but
if you are staying close to one of the stations or you have a connecting train
to catch, taking the train from Luton Airport can be a sensible option.
