A12 · M11 Junction 4 · Junction 8

Stratford to Stansted Airport — Route Overview

The journey from Stratford to Stansted Airport covers approximately 24 miles via the M11 motorway corridor. Your driver will typically route via the A12 northbound from Stratford, joining the M11 at Junction 4 before heading north to Junction 8 (Stansted Airport). In favourable traffic conditions, the journey takes between 40 and 55 minutes.

Stratford is located in the London Borough of Newham, in East London. It is one of the better-positioned London boroughs for Stansted Airport travel by road, given its proximity to the M11 and the A12. The route avoids Central London entirely, keeping journey times shorter than many other East London pick-up points.

Stansted Airport Taxi collects passengers from all Stratford addresses, including:

  • Stratford Station (E15 1DQ) — Broadway, High Street, and surrounding streets
  • Stratford International (International Square, E20 1EE) — DLR and Eurostar interchange
  • Westfield Stratford City (Montfichet Road, E20 1EJ) — hotel and residential collection
  • Stratford City Bus Station — adjacent to Westfield, National Express A9 coach interchange
  • Maryland, Forest Gate, Plaistow, and all E15, E16, E20 postcodes

Your Stansted Airport Taxi driver will arrive at your specified address, assist with luggage, and ensure you reach the terminal with time to spare.

Specify Your Exact Pick-Up Point

Stratford to Stansted Airport — Entity Disambiguation

Stratford has several transport interchange points, and it is important to specify your exact pick-up location when booking your Stansted Airport Taxi. The key locations are:

Stratford Station (E15 1DQ) — This is the main Stratford rail and Underground station, served by the Central line, Jubilee line, DLR, London Overground (Mildmay and Weaver lines), and c2c rail services. It is located on the Broadway, adjacent to the Stratford Shopping Centre. Stansted Airport Taxi pick-ups here are on Stratford High Street or at the designated private hire waiting area on the Broadway.

Stratford International (E20 1EE) — Stratford International is a separate station, located approximately 500 metres north of Stratford Station. It serves Southeastern high-speed services and the DLR. Despite its name, it is not an international airport — the name refers to Eurostar connectivity in the original Olympic planning. Stansted Airport Taxi from Stratford International departs from International Square, directly outside the station entrance.

Westfield Stratford City (E20 1EJ) — The Westfield shopping centre adjoins both stations. Hotel guests (Ibis Stratford, Novotel London Stratford, etc.) and residential tenants in the Stratford City development can be collected from the hotel entrance or from the designated Westfield private hire area.

When booking your Stansted Airport Taxi from Stratford, always specify which of these locations applies to avoid any confusion.

National Express A9 Coach from Stratford City Bus Station — The A9 coach service departs from Stratford City Bus Station, adjacent to Westfield Stratford City and Stratford International. It runs approximately every 20 minutes and operates a 24-hour service. Journey time is typically 60–80 minutes in normal traffic, but can extend significantly during peak hours or road incidents on the M11. The coach is the cheapest option for a single passenger travelling light, but it does not offer door-to-door collection and luggage is limited.

Stansted Express via Liverpool Street — From Stratford, the Stansted Express requires passengers to first travel to London Liverpool Street (Central line direct, approximately 12 minutes), then board the Stansted Express train from Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport (approximately 47 minutes). Total journey time including connections is typically 65–85 minutes. This works well for single passengers with manageable luggage but becomes less practical for families or groups with multiple suitcases.

Stansted Airport Taxi from Stratford is the only door-to-door, fixed-price option that collects you from your home, hotel, or business address and delivers you directly to your Stansted Airport terminal entrance. For 2 or more passengers, the Stansted Airport Taxi fare represents strong value when divided per head.
