Gabe, I stay at the Jolly Brewers pub in Bishop Stortford when flying from Stansted. It's usually a decent rate for a room. From there it's a just a few minutes walk into town. And there are several local buses from the airport directly to the pub.

Man, it’s nice to see you in London, my home town, sorry for your hard morning though, but very very interesting to see what it’s like for a traveller! Appreciated!!! Can’t wait to get to see more! Keep going please 🙏

Great to see you in Blighty! Hopefully the next time you come I’ll be around!

Hi Gabe, Greetings from a long-time follower. Nice to see you doing a London Vlog. 👍❤

The UK have bus apps that tells you when the next bus is due 😀

I suggest you go to the Yorkshire Dales and also the Lake District- some of the most beautiful scenery you will find anywhere and marvellous walks to go on. Ignore the chronic moaners in the U.K. - plenty of them which the U.K. is famous for - but truth be told outside of London most things are affordable and the U.K. of course is full of extraordinary history at every turn.

Welcome to England! I know Stansted well and those roads are not great for walking (as you have shown!). It's incredible that you were so close to the airport yet it's such a pain to get to the terminal, unfortunately there was no other option and walking to a 510 bus stop was the cheapest way to go (although there was one before the one you found). The Stansted Express train would have been another option once you got to the terminal, I think it's about £20 and goes straight into London Liverpool Street which is in the City of London. Have a great trip!

It's cheaper to pay for London transport by tapping in your normal credit card (for one off trips). Oyster cards are only cheaper if you know for sure you will be travelling through all four London zones and doing multiple trios in one day or for however long you purchased the Oyster card for. Also the traditional London red phone boxes disappeared long ago they are only keep for tourists to take photo's in a few central London locations. Also Stanstead is not in London it's in the County of Essex. a one hour train bus or coach ride from London

You don’t need an Oyster Card for transport in Greater Londen as contactless (debit or credit card) does the same trick and saves you the costs and hassle of buying an Oyster card and topping it up. An Oyster card is useless to and from standaard airport anyway. As many people have pointed out, Standsted is not London. It is in Essex. Not sure why you did not stay closer to the airport terminal and arranged transport from there. Rather than walking on that rural area that is not welcoming for pedestrian at all. Or chose another airport. Funny you basically walked by the X40 bus stop and did not notice… Anyway. You’re such an experienced traveller, a bit of more research would’ve gotten you a far better travel experience 😉

The hotel was literally right next to the airport. I don't have time to do in-depth research on the exact situation of every hotel that I stay at. You can't be prepared for every circumstance and what may or may not have been the better choice after the fact, it's all part of the adventure.

You might have been able to flag down the bus outside of London around stanstead. They are not London buses that will only stop at an official stop they are likely to be a local community type bus as well as stopping at the official bus stops.

In many country areas where there are few actual bus stops, given it is safe for them to do so, a bus will stop if you signal with plenty of warning. That lay-by at 9:27 for example.

Stansted is 25 km outside the M25 circular. that is definitely what we'd call in the UK.. "out in the Sticks!" 🤣

The bus didn’t stop because you probably didn’t put your arm out to flag it. This happens all the time, just being at a bus stop doesn’t mean the bus will stop. You have to make it clear you want this bus otherwise you miss it!!
