Stansted, which is in effect Heathrow's third runway


So what's Gatwick?


London's Second airport, which just grew there by accident. Stansted,
being the official "Third airport" was the result of extensive public
enquiries etc, to satisfy the need for more capacity for London.

Just like the third runway at Heathrow is/was at the moment.
