The Hotel is located south of the airport on the famous Imperial Ave. only a short walk from Imperial Hill, one of the spotting areas at LAX.

LTN – Holiday Inn Express – London Luton

admin on February 10th, 2011

Also it is quite a big airport for General Aviation. The Airport is not big enough to justify a trip or more than a day but it’s great way to use the low cost airlines and start or finish a trip to the major airports in London or the United Kingdom.
