Regarding road access for the four London Airports Stansted is in last place with 5,294,000 living within 60 minutes drive time. Luton is in second place with 7,094,000. Stretch that out to 2 hours and Stansted is again in last place with 16,772,000 people living in its catchment area while Luton is in first place with 22,032,000. All is not lost either when it comes to public transport. Being so close to the M1 it has an extensive coach service while 9 trains an hour head for London with 4 trains carrying on to Gatwick and Brighton. There is also a main line service to the Midlands. Trains also run all night and get to London in just 2/3rds of the time it takes trains from Stansted.
