English €125
per car
London City is the airport on the docks of east London, beside ExCeL and Canary Wharf: from Luton you skirt the north of the city to reach it. A Zonetransfers driver stands where the Luton arrivals hall opens out, ready to take you to London City from €125 per vehicle.
By road, London City is 62 km from the Luton terminal. Expect about 1 h 10 min at the wheel. Zonetransfers charges from €125 for the vehicle, not per seat, and the figure does not move after booking.
