First in Stansted: to start transport from and to the airport to London is quite high (as for other airports). And above all plan to be there 3 hours in advance! There, or usually, no matter the airport in the world, you are told 2 or 3 hours and you will have time to have a coffee and sit quietly, to shop, here it is no joke. I arrived 2 hours before the door closed and I was still waiting to pass security at that time. Fortunately the flight was delayed, otherwise I would have missed it. Besides that after the control, you will have another 10 minutes journey (on foot or by shuttle) to reach your door. A stress caused unnecessarily, a disaster of organization, which is apparently usual. The shopping and restaurant side seemed nice but unfortunately I didn't really have time to go around.
