The departures lounge at Stansted Airport boasts all the facilities you would expect from such a large London airport, including a very wide range of shops that stock any product you need. In fact, Stansted actually advertises its departures lounge as a place to have a shopping trip rather than just a means to the end of flying. If you fancy some jewellery then Accessorize and Claire’s are available throughout the day to sell you those extra bits of bling you’ve left at home. There are also designer brands such as Kurt Geiger (for footwear), Hugo Boss (for a whole manner of smart, stylish clothing), Mulberry (for their fine collections of leather products) and Ted Baker (with their large range of stylish clothing and accessories). Stansted departures also has a WHSmith and a WHSmith Books so you can buying some excellent reading material to take on holiday with you. JD Sports also have a concession here should you need to pick up any sportswear before you leave the country.
