How to reach the Centre of London from Stanstead Airport?

Question

I am going to attend a course on the 15th of July, it would be very helpful for me if you can indicate train websites, hotels and every useful information. I am evaluating the airport too. Stanstead, Gatwick or Luton? I live in Parma so Stanstead would be the first choice, but it depends on how much does it cost to arrive to London. Thank you in advance for you help

thank you very much to you all, I've chosen May because she gave me a lot of useful websites. Grazie anche a te Fede, per l'opzione Bus, credo che però sceglierò il treno, col traffico non si sa mai. Ciao

Answer 2

luton and stansted are much the same, both being to the north of central London and neither actually being within central london. Hotels in london are very expensive, the further from the cenre the cheaper they will be.

Answer 3

Reaching city centre is very easy. You can do taxi (extremely expensive), bus, or train.

I would recommend train, Stansted Express. It leaves every 15 minutes and only takes 45 minutes.

On bus you would take the National Express A6 - London Victoria (central London).

OR
Snowdrop Travel A60 - (central London).

I usually do the express train, it's faster and much easier.

Good luck!

You can take the Stansted Express from the airport to either Tottenham Hale (Victoria Line) or to Liverpool Street (Circle, Central lines). www.stanstedexpress.com for times and prices.

Answer 7

visto che sei italiano ti rispondo in italiano cosi' faccio prima...

appena arrivi trovi moltissime opportunita'.
Il treno e' di sicuro la piu' costosa.
La cosa migliore e' comprare un biglietto in pulman. Ci sono varie compagnie ma la Terravision e' la piu' economica, per quanto ne so io. La trovi in fondo sulla destra rispetto agli arrivi.
Parte ogni 30 minuti circa. ti conviene fare andata e ritorno perche' costa molto meno, mi sembra solo 13 sterline ma non ricordo benissimo. Puoi anche comprarlo sull'aereo direttamente.

Buon viaggio,

Federica.
