One-Way Transfer

A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: Stansted Airport to a terraced house in Seven Kings, the terminal to King George Hospital at Goodmayes, or a flat near Gants Hill to Stansted Airport for a dawn flight. For a landing, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a flight out, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Round-Trip Service

Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: Stansted Airport to a family home near Valentines Park for a three-week visit, and from that home to the airport on the day the visit ends. When the return flight is booked, the drive to the airport can be settled at the same time. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.

Hourly Service

Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at STN, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

London Stansted Airport to Ilford: Route and Drive Time

Ilford, Redbridge's main town and home of its Town Hall, is in north-east London, south of the airport. The drive is 30 miles, normally 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes. The car takes the M11 south towards London and leaves it for the A406 North Circular and the A12 Eastern Avenue, which meet just west of the town.

The last miles depend on where you are going in the borough. The High Road and The Exchange shopping centre form the heart of the town; Valentines Park lies to the north, Gants Hill sits along Eastern Avenue, and Goodmayes, with King George Hospital, is to the east. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Stansted Airport

Stansted has a single terminal, used by every airline, and chauffeur pick-ups are handled in the Short Stay car parks; the kerb outside is not used.

After you land, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

By rail, Ilford is two trains away. Stansted Express trains reach Liverpool Street in 48 minutes on average, and from there the Elizabeth line goes east through Stratford to Ilford. With children and suitcases, that change at Liverpool Street is the step a car saves.

Arriving at Your Address in Ilford

Ilford was part of Essex until 1965, and its postcodes still begin with IG. For a home in one of its residential streets, give the house number together with the postcode.

Should your address be in a pedestrianised stretch of the centre, send the full address with the booking and we will tell you how close the car can go. For a home near Valentines Park, give the road name rather than the park.

Visitors staying with family in Gants Hill or Seven Kings can be taken from the terminal straight to the house, so the first meeting with relatives does not start on a station platform.

From Ilford Back to London Stansted Airport

Allow 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes for the trip back on a normal day; a slow North Circular adds to it. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Since Stansted has a single terminal, nothing more than your address and the hour goes into the booking.

After a family holiday at Christmas, plan around the bank holidays. In 2026 they are Friday 25 and Monday 28 December, the second one replacing Boxing Day, which falls on a Saturday. If your flight home falls in that week, book the car early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

What is the driving time from Stansted Airport to Ilford?

Ilford is 30 miles from the terminal, normally 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes; the M11 covers most of the distance.

My parents' flight into Stansted is delayed. Do I have to do anything?

Nothing for a delay: the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. If the airline gives them a different flight number, pass it to support.

Where do my relatives meet the chauffeur at Stansted?

In the Short Stay car parks beside the terminal, not at the kerb. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Is Ilford inside the ULEZ?

Yes. Ilford is in the London Borough of Redbridge, and the Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every London borough around the clock. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

Eleven relatives are landing together with presents and suitcases. One vehicle?

Yes, a van: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. Count the bags in the booking, so the vehicle is matched to the load.

What do you need to know about London Stansted Airport in 2026–2027?

In August 2026 liquids in cabin bags at Stansted were still capped at 100 ml. The public holidays over Christmas 2026 are 25 December, a Friday, and 28 December, a Monday, standing in for a Saturday Boxing Day.
