Stratford, in east London, is a major transport and shopping hub anchored by the Olympic Park and Westfield. London City Airport is close and Stansted is a direct run north. With fast rail links too, we handle a mix of airport runs and business travel at fixed fares.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from Stratford, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
Of all the areas we cover, Stratford ranks 5th closest to London City out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
London City — about 5 miles (15–20 min by road); Stratford lies to the north-west of it.
Heathrow — about 26 miles (40–65 min by road); Stratford lies to the east-north-east of it.
Stansted — about 30 miles (40–60 min by road); Stratford lies to the south-south-west of it.
Gatwick — about 35 miles (45–65 min by road); Stratford lies to the north-north-east of it.
Luton — about 35 miles (45–65 min by road); Stratford lies to the south-east of it.
Southend — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Stratford lies to the west of it.
One rule marks a minicab out from a black cab: you cannot wave one down. Every journey is pre-arranged, and the driver and vehicle both require a separate private hire licence to work legally. Booking through Airportmove reflects exactly that — your fare and pickup time are confirmed in advance, and a licensed driver meets you at the time agreed, never hailed on the road. In Stratford specifically, London City is the closest of the six by road — roughly 5 miles away, with Stratford lying to the north-west of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Stratford reaches every London airport just as reliably.
For Stratford, the roads are predictably busier on weekday mornings and early evenings, when local commuters and airport traffic both use the main approach roads. Booking an early or late weekday slot is where a little extra time helps most; outside peak hours and on weekends, journeys tend to run more smoothly. Our drivers watch the traffic and adjust the route, not the price.
Nothing about the pickup is left to chance: the meeting point is agreed in advance, and on airport legs we track the flight so the timing matches your real arrival, not the timetable. Plan for the usual airport process around the journey itself — security and check-in outbound, passport control and baggage inbound — which is exactly what the free waiting allowance in your fare is there for.
Telling us your group size and luggage at booking, rather than leaving it to the day, means the right vehicle is waiting: a saloon for up to four people and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater for more bags, buggies or equipment. Journeys like this get busier in school holidays and summer, so booking ahead is the simplest way to secure the size of car you need.
Most Stratford bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:
A regular commute or the school run, billed to a business or family account.
A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
