To London
Out of the arrivals terminal, head towards the signs for the Bus Station, turn right when you get to the buses and just follow the path, eventually walking through some car parks. There are plenty of sign prohibiting to walk in direction of the roundabout but lots of people still walk there. The roundabout is about a 10 minute walk from the terminal. Go towards the sign saying the M11 towards London. Decent spot, never had to wait to long, usually ends up faster than the bus.

Sleeping
Being so far from London with a lot of flight transfers, there is always lots of people sleeping at the airport without necessarily be disturbed. You actually might have to hurry to get your personal remote corner of the hard floors.
