Stansted Airport London Travel Information

inc.Transfers To London & Beyond, Hotels, Car Parking & Flights

Stansted Airport is situated 38 miles north of London, a long and very expensive taxi ride with the prospect of road congestion as you near London. There is a wide choice of airport bus and train services into most parts of Central London.

The airport is dominated by low cost budget airlines, Ryanair having the most numerous flights into the airport. The airport is geared to the leisure traveler, apart from the budget airlines the other main use is for UK charter airlines flying the British to the sun.

Nearly all flights are European and UK domestic, there are very few long haul flights apart from charters.

Stansted airport is a one passenger terminal, one runway airport.

The only hotel you can walk to from the passenger terminal is the luxury Radisson Blu, adjacent to the passenger terminal.

Transport into Central London From Stansted Airport

For most people wanting to transfer into Central London its a straight choice between the cheap bus services that run a 24x7 timetable and the faster, more expensive train.

Private taxi's are available but Stansted is a long way outside London and for one or two people is prohibitively expensive for most travelers. For groups, especially on late or early flights, chartering a private bus can make real sense.

The fastest most frequent transport is the Stansted Express train, adedicated airport train. However, its London terminus is Liverpool Street which for leisure visitors is likely to be cross town from their accommodation in London. The bus services go into the main hotel districts but do not do hotel drops.
