If anybody has taken this route before you're likely to get a range of responses / prices depending on the company (Addison Lee can be 20-30% more expensive than a local firm) which may or may not be accurate / recent enough for you.


Better off doing your own research and ringing around some minicab companies for actual prices.

And of course direct trains from Herne Hill to Luton on the Thameslink.


The earliest direct train is 6am, and the latest one is 10pm - both take an hour.


You can get earlier or later ones if you don't mind changing.


It's only 13.50 one way, a massive difference from a minicab, and much quicker/less stressful.

I know that the train is normally direct, from Peckham too, but its planned engineering works tommorrow which means train to LB, tube to kentish town, walk to overground, train to Luton bus to airport!! Call me lazy but the thought of me, suitcase, buggy 2year old and all of this a bit too much!

    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
