Is it ok to spend the night at London Luton Airport?
I'm flying in for a university interview to the UK this December and have not yet bought a plane ticket back to my home country. Ideally I would like to fly back to my home country on the same day as my interview finishes but that's not possible (don't wanna risk missing my flight). I now have two flight options,
one in the very early morning (6AM) of the day after the interview and
another in the evening of the day after the interview.
After my interview I plan on going to London or just staying where my interview took place. If I take option two (evening of the following day) then I will obviously have to book a hostel room for one day in London which will increase my finances even more (flight 2 is more expensive).
If I take option one I HOPE to avoid having to book a room and just spend my whole day in London and in the evening going to Luton airport to spend the night there. This plan is much cheaper so I'm leaning more towards it but I'm having some doubts about it:
is it safe to ride buses/trains in London at late hours (I plan on going from London to Luton at around 23:00 or something)?
is it immature of me not to book accommodation and to just expect to spend the night at the airport?
