Getting to Watford Junction (Harry Potter) from airports

I need to choose a flight coming into London and I will be going directly to the Harry Potter Studios near the Watford Junction train station when I arrive. We will be coming from Spain so this is not a long overseas flight.

My arrival airport choices are London City Airport or London Luton. I know that Luton is physically closer to the Studios but the flight time is a little less convenient and is on EasyJet. The flight into London City Airport is on British Airways and the time is more convenient. With either flight, we have plenty of time to get to the Studios.

Want to make sure the one that we choose with have the easiest/cheapest transportation options for us to get to Watford Junction (we are a family of 5).

Thanks for any opinions/suggestions!!!

How much time do you have between the two arrivals and the reservation time at the studios? What time of day? What day of the week?

Those questions are to try to see what issues you may have between City Airport and Watford.

The nearest airports to Watford are Luton and Heathrow. Both are close enough that for a group I would consider a pre-booked fixed-price taxi (not a taxi from the taxi rank) direct to Leavesden Studios. Most taxi firms (for example a Watford based one) will quote you a fixed price picking you up from arrivals.
London City involves going through central London: DLR from the airport, tube to Euston, train to Watford Junction then shuttle bus to studio. Long and complicated.
Nothing wrong with EasyJet.

Where are you going afterwards? And by what method of Transport? And what are you doing with your luggage while you go round the studio?
