By far
the most popular option connecting Heathrow and Luton Airport are
the frequent bus / coach shuttles providing the only direct service
between Heathrow and Luton airports. These are run by National
Express Airport.
However, the service though convenient is not the cheapest connection
between the two airports. |
 |
|
|
The
cheapest route involves taking the London Underground from Heathrow
to Victoria in Central London. From there, Green Line/esaybus run
coaches to Luton Airport. Total
journey time is around 3 hours.
Heathrow
To / From London Victoria
The
Heathrow London Underground link is on the Piccadilly Line, you
will need to change onto the District Line mid journey. The best station
to change is Hammersmith where both lines are on adjacent platforms,
barely 5 metres apart.
Heathrow is in zone 6, Victoria is in Zone 1. We have a detailed page
on using the
London Underground.
