There’s such a dizzying array of airports that claim to serve England’s capital, it’s a wonder anyone manages to get their head around it enough to actually book a flight. And it’s all too easy to get sucked in by cheap prices, with any savings quickly cancelled out by train tickets or taxi fares.

London Luton Airport (LTN) tends to fall into that category, at 27 miles (44km) from the centre of London, and Gatwick Airport is also around the same distance away from town. Luckily, both airports run express trains that allow you to reach the centre of town in around 30 minutes.
