Stansted Airport is known as the hub for low cost travel to Europe – so it is no surprise that it is located on the outskirts of London – making it less convenient to get to. However there are a range of transportation options available for this airport.
The most convenient way to get to central London is by Taxi, there is a taxi rank located just outside the terminal entrance. However fares are incredibly expensive and a one way taxi ride to central London will set you back a whopping £100!
If you don’t want to spend that much money, but you still want the convenience and freedom of having your own car – then a rental car hire is definitely from you. Rental hire can work out a lot cheaper then expensive taxis. You can choose exactly what type of car you want. There is also the option of a car sharing scheme which allows you to rent a car for much smaller periods of time.
There are buses (national express) linking Stansted with central London and Victoria coach station. The Stansted express train runs every 45minutes through the day and arrives at London’s Liverpool street, where you can catch a tube to continue to your final destination.
All of these transportation options (even the taxi) can be booked online and in advance. Generally speaking you are likely to get discounted rates when booking through the Internet. The same applies with car rental – check out the search feature on this sit for the best rates around.

The Stansted terminal building stands out among the other buildings at the airport for many reasons. Mainly because it was not only designed to be efficient for passengers but also to look fantastic both from the ground and from the air. The layout has been specifically designed so that passengers van flow without obstruction from the car park to the check-in, security and then departure gates without any change of level. It also provides the same system going back from the arrivals hall, security, luggage claim and car park, trains, car hire or other transport. This makes things easier for all passengers especially disabled passengers with no stairs to negotiate and therefore no worried about finding lifts to take wheelchairs or bulky luggage upstairs.
The outside of the building looks, from above, like a swan in flight. This vision is obtained by having a floating roof, which is supported by inverted pyramid roof trusses. Each was cleverly designed to hold all of the lighting, air conditioning and other services necessary for that part of the building. Imagine how interesting the roof looks for passengers when they are taking off and landing in the planes at the airport. It is also impressive from the inside. Most airports have very boring looking terminal building which are rather out of date and tend to be square in shape and this one is a massive change from these and provides practicality as well as interest for all of the passengers and staff that use it.
