Stansted to London — taxi vs Stansted Express

Stansted Express to Liverpool Street is 47 minutes by direct train. For 1 passenger with light luggage, the train is the obvious pick. For families, groups, or anyone arriving late at night when train frequency drops, a pre-booked taxi is door-to-door with no transfer at Liverpool Street.

Stansted late-night arrivals

Stansted runs a lot of low-cost long-haul that lands after midnight. Stansted Express frequency reduces overnight; some routes pause entirely between 01:00 and 04:00. Pre-booked taxi is the reliable option for late arrivals.
