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.

Stansted Airport is London's fastest growing airport, most of the explosive growth coming from low cost budget airlines. At the moment there is just one, sometimes overcrowded passenger terminal with a new runway and another terminal being planned.
