London Stansted, in Essex on the M11, is the main airport for East London, Essex and East Anglia, operating from a single Norman Foster-designed terminal. Its position makes it unusually quick to reach from Cambridge, while the central-London run is a longer haul north-east. MiniCabFinder lets you compare an estimated fare before booking.
Stansted’s catchment splits neatly: fast, short transfers to Cambridge and the Essex/Hertfordshire towns, and the busier long run into the City and central London. Knowing an estimate up front helps you judge whether a taxi or the express train suits your trip.
Stansted has one main terminal with a designated taxi rank and set-down areas. Many licensed taxi partners offer meet-and-greet in arrivals — useful given the terminal’s size at peak times. Confirm your meeting point when you request a booking.
Very — it’s about 30 miles straight up the M11, usually 35–45 minutes. That makes Stansted one of the most convenient airports for Cambridge travellers. Compare an estimate first.
It’s roughly 40 miles down the M11, often around an hour or more with traffic. It’s a longer run than the express train, so compare the estimate for what suits you.
There’s a designated rank, and many licensed taxi partners offer meet-and-greet in arrivals. Note your preference and flight number when you book so the driver can find you.
