London Stansted Airport in a nutshell

London

Stansted is London’s third-largest airport, serving mainly low-cost airlines. Ryanair operates its largest hub here, accounting for over 90 per cent of the airport’s flights.

The airport is situated almost exactly halfway between London and Cambridge.

Despite being over 64 km from central London, Stansted Airport is popular for its simplicity, with just a single terminal and shorter walking distances than at Gatwick (LGW) or Heathrow (LHR).
