The Run · east through the City to the M11
Getting from The Strand to Stansted: timing that respects the cutoff
~33 miles by road via east through the City to the M11. The honest number is a range — about 55 minutes when the roads are empty, up to 90 in the peaks — and the pickup time we agree is built on the slow end, not the brochure end.
Work backwards from the flight: low-cost bag-drop is strict — often a hard 40-minute cutoff. Check your airline. Add the drive at 90 minutes plus a 15-minute buffer, and treat the result as a floor, not a dare — we sanity-check the pickup time against your flight when you confirm.
At the airport we drop at the single Stansted terminal.
Fixed means fixed: traffic, diversions and the driver’s route choice are our problem, not a surcharge. The figure you approved at booking is the figure you pay at the kerb.

The Strand logistics, told straight
Curtain-down kerbs
Shows along here empty between 21:45 and 22:30 and the theatre frontages lock. We stage on Surrey Street or Savoy Street; two minutes’ walk, ten minutes saved.
The Aldwych loop
One-way and unforgiving: the door you name decides the approach. Hotel, theatre or the Somerset House gate — put it in the notes.
Stansted’s odd hours
This corridor flies early and late. Late-night adjustments show before you confirm, and the small-hours streets give the drive its best time.

Near it — theatre fronts are drop-only chaos at the interval and the close. We agree the side-street corner in advance and message when the car is on it.
Hotel departures with a mountain of luggage?
Name the hotel; the doorman-to-boot handover is the easy part, and the vehicle is sized to the case count you give us.

Cancellation is free up to 6 hours before pickup and 50% refunded up to 12 hours before. Weekend-peak or late-night adjustments appear on the quote before you confirm — the figure you approve is final, congestion-zone charges included.
