Things to Do Around London Stansted Airport
Because of Stansted Airport's location to the northeast of the capital, it is also an ideal place to begin exploring East Anglia, which includes the famous cathedral cities of Norwich, Ely and Cambridge. The Essex coastline is about an hour's drive away via the A120. Stansted Airport lies close to the market town of Bishop's Stortford, just over the county border in Hertfordshire. Here, you can find shops and accommodation, if required, before setting out on your onward journey.
While you're in the Stansted area, a visit to Mountfitchet Castle is fun for all ages and is only a short drive away. If you plan to visit London, hiring a car makes things lots easier and gets you into the centre in under an hour.
