Thank you for a really detailed explanation on one think that I am really concerned. Namely, I have a plan to come to London (only for the second time) in September to stay there for a few days.
And I have these two problems.
First:
On the arrival day I want together with my friend visit a football match at Wembley starting at 3 pm. But my flight arrive only at 1:20 pm (which I realized only after I booked the ticket). So I know that Stansted Express is the most expensive way to get to the center of London from where I can use tube, but I believe it is at the same the fastest and my only option to get there on time (maybe???). Maybe taxi which by estimation is around 60Ł could be fastest or not.

Advantages: Modern, clean and organised Disadvantages: Distance from London. Getting there by road
security are Boots, Clarks and La Senza, and once you have gone security, there are stores such as Boots, Dixons, HMV, Body Shop, Tie Rack and WHSmith.
There are various bars and eating areas where you can buy hot drinks, sandwiches and the like, but these are all at what I call London prices.
GETTING TO STANSTED
There are numerous ways of getting to Stansted, and for my particular trip, I booked National Express coaches from Bristol to London Heathrow, and from London Heathrow National Express once again to get to Stansted. The airport has it?s own bus and coach station which is literally opposite the main terminal entrance and could not really be any closer.
National Express is a well know nationwide company, and offers travel to and from Stansted 24 hours a day. From Stansted, it has connections to London Victoria ...
Advantages: Plenty to see and do within town and surrounding areas Disadvantages: Can get very busy on Market Days
I moved to the North Norfolk Port of KingsLynn in 2001 from the South Coast as much because of its rural charm as the cost of living here was considerably cheaper than the south where I was born and grew up.
Everywhere you walk within KingsLynn you are reminded of the former history that surrounds this former Hanseatic Port when it was used as a major port for shipping and receiving goods from Europe.
If arriving in the town by car you will pass through the South Gate, part of the original town fortifications which acted as a place of entry to the town and could be manned. Built in the 15th Century the stone structure immediately makes you aware of the importance that buildings such as this have on the town.
Following on through as you head towards the car parks you will pass the Greyfriars Tower the last significant ...
