Why take the bus?
There are other options, of course. How about the train? For Londoners, the train is an easy option. It's fast, it's regular, and it'll get you to your destination in plenty of time. However, there's one little problem – there's no direct train from London King's Cross to Stansted Airport. You'll have to cross London to catch the Stansted Express from Liverpool Street, and that means struggling on the Tube with all your luggage. When you catch the train, there's no guarantee that you'll get a seat, even if you've booked. Add up the cost, and it's expensive, too, eating into your holiday money.
Okay, so how about driving? Driving from central London to Stansted involves going through the ULEZ zone (that's over £12 out of your pocket already if your car is not ULEZ-compliant), then the joys of getting around the M25 and onto the M11, before trying to find a parking spot at the airport. Talk about a stressful way to start your journey…
A taxi or Uber is an option, as long as you don't mind dipping into your holiday money again. So when it comes down to it, the smart way to travel from London King's Cross to Stansted Airport is by bus. It's cheaper, you're guaranteed a seat, and the bus takes you right to the Terminal entrance with no fuss. Just sit back in your luxury coach, plug in to the free on-board Wi-Fi, and enjoy the journey.
