The North Circular is the slow part. For flights with extra security checks, allow around three hours at Luton.
Check-in guide for Luton Airport: two hours for most flights, longer for routes with extra security checks. Add 55 to 85 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Stratford grew into a major hub after the 2012 Olympics, with Westfield, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the London Stadium, the new neighbourhoods of East Village and Chobham Manor, and a cluster of hotels around the shopping centre. The older town centre sits around Stratford Broadway.
We collect from homes, hotels and the stations. On event days at the London Stadium, roads around the park are closed, so tell us if your trip is on a match or concert day and we will agree a pickup point.
We also cover nearby West Ham, Leyton, Bow, Forest Gate, Hackney Wick, Maryland, Canning Town and Plaistow.
