By rail it is the Central line into Liverpool Street and then the Stansted Express back out, which means going into town first.
By public transport: Central line to Liverpool Street, then the Stansted Express, about 70–85 min. The catch is going into town first and a change with luggage. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 35 min, or 60 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
