Out of Poplar (E14) the route runs up the A12 and west along the North Circular to the M1. Coming back from Luton the driver follows the M1, the North Circular and the A12 back to Poplar. That is about 39 miles: reckon 60 min off-peak and 90 min when the North Circular across north London is busy.
Luton has one terminal. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, so there is no DART shuttle or bus to work out.
The driver meets you inside arrivals, so there is no DART or bus.
The North Circular is the slow part. For flights with extra security checks, allow around three hours at Luton.
