Pimlico is on the Victoria line, which runs straight to Tottenham Hale, a Stansted Express stop. It is one of the easiest rail routes to Stansted from south of the river, with just one change.
By car the driver follows Millbank and the Embankment through the City, up the A12 to the North Circular and on to the M11.
By public transport: Victoria line from Pimlico to Tottenham Hale, then the Stansted Express, about 60–75 min. The catch is a change at Tottenham Hale and a busy train with luggage. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 70 min, or 105 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
Out of Pimlico (SW1V) the route runs along Millbank and the Embankment, through the City to the A12 and North Circular, then the M11. Coming back from Stansted the driver follows the M11 and A12, then the City and the Embankment back to SW1V. That is about 40 miles: reckon 70 min off-peak and 105 min when the Embankment, the City and the A12 is busy.
Stansted has one terminal. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board once you have cleared baggage reclaim.
Your driver waits in Stansted's arrivals hall. Coming home in the evening, the Embankment is usually the slowest part.
The City and the A12 are the slow stretches. For weekday morning flights allow the full 105 minutes, plus two hours at Stansted for European flights.
Check-in guide for Stansted Airport: two hours for most European flights. Add 70 to 105 minutes on the road and a small margin, and the booking page suggests a pickup time for your flight.
Pimlico lies between Victoria station and the river, a neat grid of white stucco terraces, garden squares and mansion blocks like Dolphin Square. Belgrave Road and St George's Drive are lined with small hotels popular with visitors arriving at Victoria.
