Public transport from Heathrow

It is easy to get to Luton and Bedford from London Heathrow Airport by public transport.

To get to Luton from Heathrow

Take the National Express public coach service direct to Luton – this coach leaves from the Central Bus Station for Terminals 1,2 and 3, and from directly outside the terminal building for Terminals 4 and 5. 

This is a high frequency service – there is a coach to Luton every hour 7 days a week from 06:00 to 18:00, and a bus every 2 hours at other times.

You can buy a ticket at the National Express ticket office in the Central Bus Station or directly from the driver. The ticket costs around £20 - £25. The cheapest option is to buy the ticket online in advance from www.nationalexpress.com

To get to Bedford from Heathrow

It is best to take the London Underground train from Heathrow into London.

The London Underground train station (Piccadilly Line) is located directly under the central bus station for terminals 1, 2 and 3, and is clearly signposted from all Terminals. Terminals 4 and 5 have their own, separate station.

Change at King’s Cross St Pancras International station onto the First Capital Connect train to Bedford.
