I see this hotel: http://www.yotel.com/

OK, a few questions here.
At stansted, the buses are well signposted, so no problem. you could get a train into Liverpool Street station but it would make it very difficult to get to Heathrow, so not really an option, the direct bus would be better.
There are many good hotels at Heathrow, but you need to ask yourself if you want to spend that amount of money for five hours. Realistically, you will get aobut three hours in the hotel, given transfer times. You will not be able to go to the Heathrow hotels by foot. Well, you could but it would take a while, Heathrow is really huge.
also, if you are flying into Stansted I am guessing it is a budget airline which are frequently late, so your time at the hotel would be even more limited.
My advice would be to get to Heathrow and just sit it out there. Do take some food and drink with you as there are no eating facilities at night in Heathrow to my knowledge.
Hope this assists,
fergy.
There's a Hilton conneced directly to Terminal 4, but most hotels are not walkable, and the hoppa bus does not run all night so you would have to take a taxi to e.g. the Renaissance Hotel (see http://www.londontoolkit.com/lhr/renaissance_lhr.htm).
Otherwise, see http://www.sleepinginairports.net/europe/londonheathrow.htm
The train to Liverpool Street is not an option, as it doesn't run during the wee small hours. I think you will probably arrive at Heathrow later than 2am, which leaves you even less time in your hotel. I think you should just find a corner and sit out the wait in the terminal. If that's possible - I have never been in Heathrow during those hours but I do know they are pretty sticky about people hanging around. The only hotel connected to the airport is the Hilton; other than that you would have to take a taxi.
thanks for help.
sleep at the airport.. the best option!!!
so, where is the national express bus stop at heathrow airport?
thanks
You know, Heathrow airport has an excellent website - www.heathrowairport.com - and you will find all information there. However, here is the info re buses:
Heathrow central bus station is between Terminals 1, 2 and 3. It is a few minutes' walk from the terminals via underground walkways. The bus station is open 24 hours a day, and the travel centre opens from 06:00 to 22:30. Baggage trolleys are provided.
Some coaches also call at Terminals 4 and 5, a short walk from check-in and arrivals – the operator will be able to advise. Otherwise, a free transfer between terminals is available using Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect trains.
Everything is very well sign-posted throughout the terminals. If in doubt, ask!
On my first visit in August of 99 I ventured off on my own and wound up exiting the South Kensington Tube station. I strolled down Brompton Road which was busy with people walking from shop to shop, restaurants, cafes and news stands speaking any number of languages as they strolled by. It felt like such a cosmopolitan cool place to be.
from princely little armor to King Daddy's big, shiny armor...I guess what left the most lasting impression of my was the sizes of the armor.
Must have been rough if you gained weight between battles and tournaments!
London has the busiest high street in the world. Apart of seeing parks and garden you'll be suprise to see a tall giant tree still survive surrounded with tall skyscrapers.
I think thats beautiful about London city
When you are in a pub with a group in the UK, the usual thing to do is to buy rounds. Rather then each person buying his or her own drink, someone buys a round for the whole group and when all drinks are finished, it's the turn of another person to buy the round. At the end of the evening, if all goes well, each person has bought a round for everybody else and in terms of money spent it comes out as the same as if everybody had bought his own drink each time. This custom comes from the fact that, in the UK, you have to go to the bar to order your drinks so it is much more efficient if one person goes and buys the drinks rather than everybody going at the same time. But beware, your fellow drinkers will form an opinion of you depending on your pub behaviour. They will expect you to buy a round as often as the others, neither more nor less. If you take your turn less often than expected, you might be reminded that "it's your round" at some point. On the other hand, if you buy more often, someone might step in and tell you "it's my round". The interesting consequence is that, in some cases, you might end up staying in the pub until everybody has bought a round, which can take a long time if there are 10 of you! Of course, the rule can be tweaked: if the group is large it is acceptable to limit the round to part of the group; or if there are ladies in the group, their turn might come less often.
Cheers!
Ideally, you shouldn't pack anything at all. No matter your taste and preference you can shop till you drop in London. So don't fill up those suitcases when you pack! The most important thing to bring is a pair of good shoes or boots that are comfortable to walk in for miles and miles... and bring a spare pair - when it rains it pours.
