Can you pass through Stansted security any time of day/night?
According to the website:
- The airport is open 24h
- Only 24h coffee shop is located after security
Can I infer that it is possible to pass through security at any point in a 24h period? Or do you have to go through before the last flight, if wishing to stay there for a morning flight?

I speak from memory about 1 year ago.
At 1 am (the time I got to the airport) the security area was closed. There were many people sleeping on the floor inside the airport. At around 4 am the security area reopened. The cleaners started work around this time, so those who were still sleeping were woken up.
Anyway, there was a 24 hour bar pre-security, located just outside the toilets.

What's the Earliest You Can Go through Airport Security? If you have checked luggage, the earliest airports will let you in is usually 2-5 hours before departure. That's because you can go through security only once you've checked in your baggage, and the check-in desks open only a few hours before departure.Is Stansted Airport open during the night?
