Trip to London
I want to make a trip to London and I'm looking for a good, (cheap) airport close to London. Maybe Biggin Hill is a solution? Are there connections with London downtown? Maybe you know better airports close to London

Probably not quite the right forum ... Pivate Flying / GA ?
(training related ... then maybe)
Stapleford is quite good, close to London and easy to commute to the city - Bus/Taxi/Central Line
Half the price of Biggin - but no official instrument approach, there is a nice VOR there
£9 for single i think X 2 for twin ...
free parking throughout day, few quid overnight !

Depends what you're flying, but check out Elstree. Cheap fees, hard runway in case the weather is British, and the main line to London is 5 mins away in a taxi (trains run every few mins and journey time is about 15 mins).
Panshanger is a similar story, only it's grass ...

I live near Biggin Hill and so can give you some feedback on the area. It is a bit of a mission to get into Central London. You would need to get 320 bus to Bromley South station (takes about 25 minutes), and then get a train from there to London, which would take about 40 minutes. The bus is £1 single and the train would be about £4 return or £5.40 for a travelcard.
