The Victoria line runs direct from Highbury & Islington to Tottenham Hale, where the Stansted Express stops. It is one of the simplest Stansted rail trips in London.

By public transport: Victoria line to Tottenham Hale, then the Stansted Express, about 50–60 min. The catch is a change at Tottenham Hale with luggage. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 45 min, or 70 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
