I’ve had good and bad at all London airports, though STN is particularly bad at security. LCY and SEN are particularly good, though I have experienced delays.

Even there you are at the mercy of U.K. Border force and that’s where a lot of these complaints and delays arise. Last time there were 3 officers who took forever to process our flight of 90-something pax with 4xAirbuses to arrive within the next hour or so. I’ve also had 5 desks processing 8 of us on a very empty ATR with only an A319 to come.
