The journey between Stansted and Stratford is roughly 30 miles by road, typically via the M11 and M25. In normal conditions allow about 40–60 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day. Because your fare is fixed, a longer run on the day costs you no more than the price you were quoted.
Stratford sits roughly to the south-south-west of Stansted. By distance across all the areas we cover from Stansted, this route is among the closest areas we cover from Stansted — the 9th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Stansted, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Stratford against a nearby postcode for the same trip.
Distance and time are approximate, measured by road and intended as a guide only. For airport pickups we track your flight and time the journey to your landing, building in extra for traffic so you are not left waiting.
Stansted sits to the north-east of London off the M11, the main base for several low-cost airlines. It suits east and north London journeys, and we time the pickup around the M11 and M25 traffic.
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.
In everyday London speech, people say “taxi” for almost any hired car, but a licensed minicab is legally distinct from a black cab: it cannot be hailed on the street and must be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle separately licensed for private hire. A pre-booked transfer like this one works on exactly that basis — agreed in advance, licensed throughout, with the fare fixed before you travel. On this specific route, Stratford lies to the south-south-west of Stansted, a journey of around 30 miles — among the closest areas we cover from Stansted compared with our other Stansted routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
Weekday rush hours are the main thing to plan around for Stansted to Stratford, since the M11 and M25 get busy with commuters as well as airport traffic. An early-morning or early-evening weekday trip is worth a little extra buffer; things generally ease off in the evenings, at weekends and during school holidays. The fare stays fixed regardless of which of these you land in.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
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.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:
An executive chauffeur car for business trips and special occasions.
A company account for corporate airport travel.
Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
A day out further afield with a private tour.
