Default To Luton - Advice?

Hi, I will be travelling to Luton a few days over the coming few
months.

I was hoping anyone here could advise me on the cheapest route
possible.

Travelling form central London to Luton.

I don't mind using bus if it is cheaper, but do have to be there
before 9am.

Kind Regards,

Speshly if there's a coach that stops somwhere in zone 2 or 3 (eg
Golders Green). The travelcard allows travel by London bus in any
zone, perhaps to somwhere that the coach could be picked up.

There is a coach (
http://www.greenline.co.uk/__80256E2...4?OpenDocument )
which runs all night from Finchley Road Station or Brent Cross A41
roundabout to Luton Airport. Bizarrely it goes to Central Luton before the
airport. Green Line seems shy about its prices though.

But it's not your enquiry. The OP specifically stated that he didn't
mind using a coach if it was cheaper.
