Travel Forum / Travel Types / Air Travel / June 2006Televisions at Stansted
Does anyone know if there are televisions at Stansted, but before departures. I've got to drop someone off there on Sunday, but want to watch the England vs Ecuador match. (I know there is one in Wetherspoons, but that is in departures, and I'm only not travelling...). If there is nothing in the airport, can someone recommend a good pub, preferably off the M11 northbound, where the game is definitely going to be shown? Cheers!!

There's a Wetherspoons in the public shopping area between the checkin desks and where arriving passengers emerge from Customs. I don't know if it has a TV. Off-hand, I don't remember seeing any TVs anywhere else landside in the terminal. >If there is nothing in the airport, can someone recommend a good pub, >preferably off the M11 northbound, where the game is definitely going to be >shown? The M11 goes through pretty empty territory north of Stansted (and there are not that many junctions). How far north are you prepared to go? If all else fails, there's a TV in the lounge/bar of the Holiday Inn Express (near the mid-term car park). But they'll probably charge a fiver to park there. You could also try the Radisson, which is next to the terminal building. There will probably be a "big screen" in the centre of Cambridge, but parking nearby may be difficult (parking is *always* difficult in Cambridge).

No there is not, the only pub landside is O'neils at the end of Zone A check-in desks (furthest from the front of the terminal). There is nothing where passengers arrive from Customs Rgrds SignatureRichard Parker >>There's a Wetherspoons in the public shopping area between the checkin >>desks and where arriving passengers emerge from Customs.

As for the other comment about Cambridge - I'll don't think I'll have time to quite make it there. How about Safrfon Walden or Great Dunmow - any good pubs (with TVs!) there?

Peter says there is. >As for the other comment about Cambridge - I'll don't think I'll have time >to quite make it there. How about Safrfon Walden or Great Dunmow - any good >pubs (with TVs!) there? Sorry, not up to date with those towns. I'm sure they have plenty of pubs, I'm just not sure about their TV status.

Yes their is a number of Plasma screens in the O'neils bar landside at Stansted, it is not however near where arriving passengers come out from customs, as previously posted it is at the end of check-in zone A (furthest from the front of the terminal). Hope to see you in there, as I have to work Sunday afternoon as well :-(( SignatureRichard Parker >Yes their is a number of Plasma screens in the O'neils bar landside at >Stansted, it is not however near where arriving passengers come out >from customs, as previously posted it is at the end of check-in zone A >(furthest from the front of the terminal). The "Shopping Mall" is in between Zone A and where passengers exit customs. The bar is in that "Shopping Mall". SignatureRoland Perry >The "Shopping Mall" is in between Zone A and where passengers exit >customs. The bar is in that "Shopping Mall". Don't want to get into an argument about this but it is not. That "shopping mall" as you call it contains Costa Coffee (on your right as you exit customs), then if you follow it round, WH Smiths and a Bureau De Change, then round the corner again to Zone A check-in (Where Air Berlin desks are) where there is Cotton traders, Clarkes Shoes, Impulse Music and Video and Claires accessories. O'neils is not even connected to that area, it is in the next part of the building, you enter by going past Pret a Manger and Pontis restaurants, it's quite well hidden, in fact many people cannot find it easily and ask for directions. I've worked at Stansted for 13 years, trust me I know where things are located. Hopefully our originally poster will have no bother now.

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >I've worked at Stansted for 13 years, trust me I know where things are >located. If you go to: http://www.stanstedairport.com/terminalmaps/index_flash.htm?airport=Stansted Then starting at the bottom purple zone the "Shopping Mall" is clearly shown as a block of shops starting at No 37 (the Costa you mention) then going round past 30-27 on the right, with 26 on the left. Next section over, it continues 24-22 on the right and 20-21 on the left. This are is quite clearly located between the Customs area with International Arrivals Concourse in the front, and Row A of checkin. The O'Neills is at the back of the Mall, but if you want to find the way into the mall look between Row A and the Exit to customs. >Hopefully our originally poster will have no bother now. The Stansted website also says: Whether you are an England fan or follow the boys from Brazil, you can watch the beautiful game this summer in the following locations. Before security O'Neills JD Wetherspoons So they claim there *is* a Wetherspoons. But I think it's a mistake. SignatureRoland Perry >So they claim there *is* a Wetherspoons.
