If you’re anything like us, you’ve taken your fair share of late-night budget flights into London Stansted, that hub of hubs motoring Ryanair’s route map. For those traveling into London post-flight, here’s a quick guide to escape from Stansted.

Stansted Express runs its last train to the Liverpool Street station at midnight Tuesday through Thursday and 12:30 a.m. Friday through Monday. Service begins at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday to Thursday and at 6:00 a.m. Friday through Monday.

National Express operates shuttle service to Victoria Station around the clock every ten minutes. The 90-minute trip costs £10 one way and £17 roundtrip. Children ages 3-15 travel at half-fare.

The Terravision Express Shuttle travels to both Victoria Station and Liverpool Street, departing every 30 minutes. Adult fare is £7, and children travel at half-fare. Tickets must be booked 24 hours in advance of travel.

As we reported back in February, easyBus is slated to provide shuttle service from Stansted to London in June for £7 one way. Booking online will bump your fare down to £2.

    You forgot one other option - although it’s a bit of bad choice if you don’t fly in until after 11 pm… (all the best seats will have been taken !)
