Travelling to Stansted from London Liverpool Street

If you're catching a night flight from Stansted and can't make it to our main Stratford transport hub, you can travel from London Liverpool Street. Our luxury coaches depart from Bus Stop G, Bishopsgate 175, which is close to the main entrance to Liverpool Street Station. The journey time from Liverpool Street is approximately one hour and ten minutes, making one stop at Stratford before travelling non-stop up the M11 motorway to Stanstead Airport. Liverpool Street coaches run from 20:15 until 04:30, making this a convenient service if you need to catch the red-eye over to Berlin or Zurich for an early-morning meeting.

Travelling to Stansted from Stratford

Our primary transport hub is London Stratford. By operating from this major East London location just a few minutes from the start of the M11 motorway, our coaches avoid the usual congestion in the city centre. Your journey takes around 45 minutes, and your coach departs from Bus Stop 20. Coaches run every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our Stansted Express bus timetable gives you details of exactly when every coach leaves, so you can choose the most convenient time for you.
