Where to Park at Luton Airport?

Best option for taxi to Willesden Green/Queen's Park - Luton or Heathrow?

• We (couple) will be taking a taxi from either Luton airport or Heathrow airport to Willesden Green station or Queen's Park station in London. Which will be cheaper? How long will each take? How much should we expect to pay? Will be travelling with lots of luggage but if anyone knows of equally convenient ways to travel to and from the same places please feel free to leave a comment on that too.

• Answer:

  There are various public transport option but if you've got tonnes of luggage and need a direct transfer, I would recommend looking at options other than a black cab because these are ridiculously expensive, especially since there is often lots of traffic. My recommended option would be to get an airport transfer with a car service. I use these people www.airportmpvservices.co.uk and they are excellent. They are a set price and these are the best rates that I've found in London for this type of thing. They even meet you at the gate and help you with your luggage. Ask for Joyce. If you know people around the area that you are going to, you could ask them to help you organise a mini-cab (which is a car with a driver which you pay a set fee to go to a certain destination). Mini-cabs are cheaper than black cabs but are run by little local companies so unlikely that you'll find them on the net. Generally you will find it easier to get back to central London from Heathrow because distance wise it is much closer than Luton (which is an hour or so north of the city).
