Local Travel Guide

The Langham London's Location and What It Means for Your Transfer

The Langham London is at 1C Portland Place, Regent Street, London W1B 1JA. Oxford Circus Underground station, Exit 4, is approximately 5 minutes' walk — the nearest Tube stop, with Central, Victoria, and Bakerloo line access. Regent Street runs to the hotel's south; Portland Place extends northward toward Regent's Park.

For a cab transfer from Stansted, the relevant context is that Portland Place sits between Oxford Circus to the south and Regent's Park to the north, in one of London's most traffic-dense zones during peak hours. The Oxford Street and Regent Street corridors can slow significantly during daytime shopping hours and the evening West End peak.

Traffic & Timing

What Can Delay a Stansted to Langham Cab?

M11 and North-East London

The M11 southbound is generally reliable outside peak hours. The transition into Central London from the north-east introduces variability, particularly on weekday mornings.

Oxford Circus and Regent Street

Oxford Circus is one of the busiest road junctions in London. The area around Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Bond Street carries intense pedestrian and vehicle traffic throughout the day. Delivery vehicles servicing the retail district, buses on major routes, and pedestrian crossings all contribute to slower movement.

Congestion Charge Zone

The Langham London is inside the London Congestion Charge Zone. The zone operates Monday to Friday 7am–6pm and weekends 12pm–6pm. Journeys outside those hours avoid the charge; journeys during those periods attract it.

Taxi vs Public Transport

Stansted Airport to The Langham London: Cab vs Train vs Coach

The Cab: Direct to Portland Place

A pre-booked cab from Stansted Airport Taxi delivers you directly from the Stansted arrivals hall to The Langham's Portland Place entrance. No luggage through Oxford Circus, no interchange between lines, no walk from a coach terminal.

The Train: Stansted Express via Tottenham Hale

The most efficient rail route for The Langham is Stansted Express to Tottenham Hale, then the Victoria line to Oxford Circus. Route planning gives approximately 54 minutes overall via this route in favourable conditions. Oxford Circus station Exit 4 is a 5-minute walk to The Langham.

This is a competitive rail option — Oxford Circus is directly on the Victoria line, making the Tottenham Hale interchange clean. The Stansted Express to Tottenham Hale takes about 32 minutes; the Victoria line from Tottenham Hale to Oxford Circus adds about 20–22 minutes. Total: around 52–56 minutes, plus the walk.

The practical considerations: Stansted Express fare (around £26–£32 single in standard class), Tube fare, and luggage through the Oxford Circus interchange — one of the busiest Underground stations in London.

The Coach

National Express operates the A6 coach service from Stansted, stopping at Baker Street among other locations. Baker Street is a short walk from Portland Place and The Langham. There is no direct coach to the hotel entrance. The A6 journey to Baker Street typically takes 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours or more. Cheaper per person; less direct.
