Default Easier - Stanstead or Luton to London

I'm heading to the Westminster area of London next week and I have the
option of flying into either Stanstead or Luton. Which airport has the
better rail links to this part of London? By "better" I mean easier/faster
and/or cheaper.

Both airports have their own stations with direct trains to London.

Luton is served by Thameslink to Kings Cross. You can get the Tube to
the Westminster area easily from Kings Cross. Please note that
Thameslink is currently split in half and there are significant
construction works at Kings Cross so there may be some more hassle
opting for that route.

Stansted has a direct rail service (Stansted Express) into London
Liverpool St with an intermediate stop at Tottenham Hale for the
Victoria Line direct to Victoria which is in the heart of Westminster.
You can buy a through ticket.

http://nrekb.nationalrail.co.uk/links.htm has links to the relevant
train company websites for you to look at prices and timetables.
