Stansted's fascinating journey began as RAF Stansted Mountfitchet, serving with valour on the frontlines of World War II before civil conversion in the late 1940s, and has since transformed into the fourth busiest airport in the UK. It underwent a massive expansion between 2007 and 2009, contributing to its unique space frame roof design by Foster and Partners and ultimately peaking at 24 million passengers in a year.

In addition to facilitating low-cost carriers like Ryanair, it plays host to several private companies including Harrods Aviation and Titan Airways. Stansted's air traffic control tower, Britain's tallest when completed in 1996, is just one of the striking elements of the airport's grand design, and with nearby hotel accommodations and car parks readily available, your travel necessities are taken care of.
