Comparing LHR to STN Transfer Options: (Taxi, Coach, or Train)
When travelling to or from Stansted Airport to Heathrow Airport and Heathrow, you have three main choices: private taxi, train + DLR, or bus with connections.
Taxi or Private Cab:
A taxi from Stansted to Heathrow offers the fastest, most convenient door-to-door service, taking around 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. The cost is fixed, so you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees. You also get 24/7 availability and personal service (like help with luggage).
Coach:
Taking a coach is a more affordable option, but it can take 2.5 to 3 hours due to potential traffic or multiple stops. It’s cheaper, but less flexible and slower. Coaches operate on a fixed schedule, so you’ll need to align with their departure times and possibly wait at the airport for the next bus.
Train:
The train journey involves multiple transfers, typically requiring you to switch from Stansted Express to the Underground or Heathrow Express. It can take around 1.5 to 2 hours, but it may involve additional walking and carrying luggage between stations.
