Nothing to add. Great Airport. Quickest way to the city is by taxi (30 GBP) to Bromley South, which offers Express Train services on a 10 minutes (!) schedule to Victory Station. Better to buy a one way ride than a daily ticket, if you don´t need the whole tariff regions. A new airport hotel is being build. Handling is not required.
My grade: Excellent airport for General Aviation!

This is THE GA airport for London. Most of the others got some sort of restrictions, but this one is easy. They changed the rules for entering the UK, so you are advised to send a customs form found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/general-aviation-operators-and-pilots-notification-of-flights. I did not know but had no problem with customs, they where friendly. To go to the city you might take a bus, just opposite the street. Line 320 gets you to Bromley South Station. There you might buy an prepaid Oyster card for all Greater London Transport and take the train to Victoria Station. And you do still not need a handling agent and even without handling we got a free coffee. Nice!

Great access point for London. Not cheap but very convenient. Take the cab or the airport limousine (ask at the desk) to the trainstation (10 mins, 8 GBP) and then the express train to Victoria Station (18 mins, 3 GBP). You can make engine-stop/downtown in less than 45 mins. Service oriented and quick. Handling in EGKB is NOT MANDATORY, if you don't need it just polietly decline.
Departure: There is an AIS office on site where you can file your flightplan directly.
