An unauthorised car park near Stansted Airport has grown by nearly two-thirds since it was served with an enforcement notice to shut, a BBC investigation has found.
The facility was set up in early 2025 at New Farm, near the village of Elsenham, Essex, offering an alternative, cheaper option to nearby Stansted Airport.

OK - that's an example of the very worst, but I would much rather leave my car at home and take the train and/or bus to the airport or seaport

I'd generally take a chance on the train/public transport to Heathrow as there are several fallbacks (Elizabeth Line, Picadilly Line, HEx, bus in extremis), but for any of the other airports it's simply too risky, and that's even before thinking about having to carry luggage around.
