I don’t have your exact location, so I can’t calculate a precise distance right here. If you share your starting point (city or address), I can estimate the distance and travel time to Stansted Airport (STN) and suggest the best ways to get there. In the meantime, here are common ways to gauge Stansted’s distance from major places and typical travel options:
- From central London: roughly 37 miles (60 km) by road to Stansted, and about a 45–60 minute drive depending on traffic. The fastest rail option is the Stansted Express from Liverpool Street, typically around 45 minutes to the airport terminal.
- From Cambridge: about 32 miles (51 km), with a rail/road mix or direct bus options; driving is usually around 45–60 minutes depending on traffic.
- From Essex towns (e.g., Chelmsford): around 20 miles (32 km), often 30–45 minutes by car; direct train services to Stansted Valley stations can vary by route.
- From Luton or Reading or Milton Keynes: distances are longer (roughly 54 miles, 68 miles, and 69 miles respectively), with travel times typically 1.5–2 hours by car or rail, depending on connections.
Best practical steps to get an accurate distance and travel time:
- If you use a navigation app, enter your starting point and “Stansted Airport” as the destination for a precise current route and ETA.
- If you prefer public transit, check the Stansted Express from London Liverpool Street or trains via Cambridge or Bishop’s Stortford, then walk to the terminal from the train station.
If you share your starting location (town or address) and preferred mode of travel (driving, train, bus), I’ll give you a precise distance, estimated travel time, and best route.
