Where To Head For In London For Your Stopover
If you are staying overnight then London Victoria or St Pancras are the benchmark district to head for. The London Underground runs direct between Heathrow and St Pancras.
You can also use the London Underground to Victoria or there is a National Express coach that goes Heathrow - Victoria.
The Luton airport rail service departs from St Pancras whilst the bus service goes from Victoria.
Other good alternatives to look at are Paddington and Kensington, both with quite good links to Heathrow but need a small transfer to get to your Luton public transport.
Left Luggage Offices In London For Your Stopover
There are left luggage facilities at St Pancras, Paddington and Victoria rail stations and also at Victoria Coach Station.
The left luggage office at Victoria coach station is slightly cheaper than at the rail stations.
Accommodation
If you want to stay overnight, the most convenient hotel districts would be Victoria or Kings Cross / St Pancras.

Private Heathrow - Luton Transfer With Sightseeing/Orientation Tour Of Central London
If you have a long time between flights its perfectly feasible to do some serious sightseeing.
We offer a customised transfer tour service for all sized parties from couples to large tour groups. The economics really become compelling if you have a group of around eight or more
Most people opt for an orientation tour of Central London passing all the main sights with a couple of photo stops. Others prefer just to be dropped off and explore independently and we pick them up at an agreed time keeping the luggage on board the vehicle.
You do not have to go to Central London, Windsor Castle is a popular alternative. If you have a full day you can even include Stonehenge.
Bear in mind that it can take 90 minutes for a vehicle to travel between Luton and London and 60 minutes between London and Heathrow. If you wanted an orientation tour that requires around seven or more hours between flights.
