Alternatively, for those not flying directly, you can travel from Stansted Airport in the north of London, which can be reached via the Stansted Express, or Gatwick in the south of the city, which can be accessed by taking the Gatwick Express. These two airports tend to offer better value fares, as budget airlines operate from the airports.
