First time in London – Best way to get from Luton Airport to Greenwich?
Title: First Time in London – Advice Needed for Getting from Luton Airport to Greenwich
Hi everyone,
I’m excited to be visiting London for the first time soon! I’ll be landing at Luton Airport and need to make my way to Greenwich, close to Cutty Sark or Greenwich Park.
Could anyone recommend the best way to get there? I’m unsure whether to take a train, bus, or another option. I’m looking for a route that’s easy to navigate and budget-friendly.
I’d greatly appreciate any tips or suggestions you might have! Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
Welcome to London! Getting from Luton Airport to Greenwich is quite straightforward, and there are a couple of options to consider.
Train: The easiest and often most efficient way is to take a train. First, take the Luton Airport Express to Luton Airport Parkway station. From there, you can catch a Thameslink train to London St Pancras International. Then, transfer to the London Underground and take the Jubilee line directly to Greenwich Station. This route typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on waiting times.
Bus: If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, you could take the National Express coach from Luton Airport to Victoria Coach Station. From there, you can catch the Underground (District Line) to take you towards Greenwich. This option may take a bit longer (around 2.5 to 3 hours) but can be cheaper than the train.
Taxi or Ride-Sharing: Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber are also available, but this will be the most expensive option.
Make sure to check the latest schedules and prices for trains or buses on the day of your trip. Also, consider getting an Oyster card or a contactless payment method for easy travel on London’s public transport.
Enjoy your trip to Greenwich—it’s a beautiful area with lots to see, including the Cutty Sark and the park!
Safe travels!
