Stansted Airport's air traffic control tower is amongst the tallest in Britain and was actually the tallest at the time of its construction. Its location is at the north east of the airfield just south of the terminal building.

Its height is needed as it has to be able to view satellite 3 clearly as that's where almost half of Stansted's aircraft movements occur. Like most control towers in the UK, it can be seen from miles away, due to its height.
