Getting Around
How to get to and from London Luton Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at LTN
London Luton Airport is connected to Luton, Luton and the wider United Kingdom transport network by multiple ground transport options.
Luton Airport Parkway station links to the terminal via the Luton DART, a free-riding automated shuttle taking about 4 minutes; from Parkway, Thameslink trains reach London St Pancras in roughly 30-40 minutes (East Midlands Railway also calls).
Green Line 757 coach runs to central London (Victoria) in around 60-75 minutes; National Express and easyBus also serve London and regional destinations.
Official taxi rank outside the terminal; central London runs roughly £80-100+ and 60-90 minutes depending on traffic.
Uber operates from a designated pickup zone a short walk from the terminal.
On-site rental car centre a short walk from the terminal with all major UK and international brands.
The DART replaced the old shuttle bus in 2023 and is genuinely fast, but it only gets you to Luton Airport Parkway — budget the separate Thameslink fare and journey time on top; it's not a direct-to-London service.
