Airports
There are good connections to all the major London airports. We would recommend Stansted due to the ease of getting to North London but there are also great connections from London City Airport, Gatwick and Heathrow. Don't fly in to Southend or Luton (they are listed as London on most websites but they aren't).

Nearest underground / overground stations are:
Canonbury Overground (0.5 miles)
Dalston Kingsland Overground (0.7 miles)

to/from the airport
Make sure to book your Stansted Express trains in advance online before you travel as they are usually cheaper.
Don’t pay for the Gatwick Express (waste of money) get on a London bound train that is not the express. It’s the same journey time.
Heathrow is well connected to the Tube via Piccadilly/Elizabeth lines.
