Open 24/7Your journey from Leysdown-on-Sea to Luton
From Leysdown-on-Sea, London Luton is about 93 miles by road, usually 1 hr 45 – 2 hr 15 door to terminal. It's the sixth-closest of the 12 airports we serve from Leysdown-on-Sea. That's around 5 minutes longer than from Sheerness, because Leysdown-on-Sea is further east on the island.
The usual route is the A2500, A249, M2, A2, Dartford Crossing (A282), M25 and A1(M). Because it crosses the Thames at Dartford, timing matters: queues build quickly at busy times, so we always build in a margin.
Luton has a single terminal. From the road we drop you at the terminal; the Luton DART shuttle only matters if you're arriving by train at Luton Airport Parkway. The Dartford Crossing and the northern M25 are the main things to plan around.
