Best Way to Get to Stansted from London
I am legally required to warn you about the night bus. If you take the N8 from central London to the coach station, then a 4 AM coach, you will question all your life choices. It smells like regret and stale chips, and the journey takes three hours.
Don’t do this. Unless you’re writing a tragic novel and need “atmosphere,” pay the extra £10 for a daytime train. Your future self will thank you from a place of less despair.
