The Route
Luton to Canterbury. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board; pickups use the short-stay car park a minute from the doors, helps with luggage and takes the M1, M25 clockwise, then the M2 and A2. Allow 115–180 minutes depending on the time of day; we track your flight, so a delay simply moves the pickup. Canterbury's centre inside the city walls is pedestrian; we drop at your hotel or at the nearest gate to the Cathedral precincts and the driver points you the two minutes to Christ Church Gate.

Why Canterbury
The Cathedral, the medieval lanes and the river make Canterbury the most-visited town in Kent, and it pairs naturally with Whitstable or Dover on the way. There is no direct rail link from Heathrow or Luton, which is why people book the car.
Cathedral entry is ticketed except for services; evensong is free and worth timing for.
Whitstable for oysters is 20 minutes on, Leeds Castle 30 minutes back towards London - both easy add-ons.
For the return to Heathrow allow 2 hours on the road plus your check-in time; the M25 between the M2 and the M23 is the variable.
