Getting to the city
Rail and coach are the usual ways between Stansted and central London. Take the train when time matters and the coach when the fare matters more, but check where your accommodation sits before you commit, since the last leg is a real part of the trip. Leave a buffer for security on the way out, because early departures mean early queues. If you are connecting to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton or London City, treat it as a separate journey across the city rather than a quick hop, and leave a wide gap between flights.
