Stansted Airport Hotel
Stansted is Britain's early-flight airport, and its hotels are built around the dawn departure: the Radisson Blu joined to the terminal by a covered walkway, the Hampton a five-minute walk from the doors with breakfast from 4:00 am, a shuttle-served pair a mile out, and free-parking and manor-house options along the M11. The guides below cover surviving an early flight, sleeping in (or near) the terminal, day rooms, park-sleep-fly packages, the trains and coaches into London, and the direct line to Cambridge.
