Stansted Airport
Stansted Airport is about 35 miles north east of London in Essex. Driving time to Stansted is around 1 hour 15 minutes from Central London. I think the best way is to leave London by the A13. On reaching the A406, North Circular Road turn north and leave at the M11 junction towards Stansted. Leave the M11 at junction 8 and take the A120 down to the terminal (see map).

My name is David Bromiley. I have been a Licensed London Taxi Driver for many years having passed the famous ‘Knowledge of London’ back in 1984. As many will already know, the ‘Knowledge’ is the strictest testing system for prospective taxi drivers in the world. As I am an Official London Guide it will be my pleasure to escort you on private tours of London, during which you can ask as many questions as you like and stop to take photographs wherever you want to. There are various aspects of London life that can be incorporated into a tour with a particular theme. Whatever you would like to do just contact me at my email address below. I hope to meet you soon. brommers1@ntlworld.com |
