CabsOn runs Stansted Airport taxi transfers from across London at a fixed fare. Stansted (STN) sits 35–42 miles north-east of central London via the M11 — typical journey 60–90 minutes. We pre-book early-morning departures (Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet routes), late-night returns, and corporate group transfers with flight tracking on every booking.

Stansted journey times from London

  • Central London (EC1, E1, N1) — 35 miles, 60–80 minutes via A12 / M11
  • City of London / Canary Wharf — 36 miles, 60–85 minutes
  • North London (Islington, Camden) — 32 miles, 55–80 minutes
