The journey between Stansted and Kensington is roughly 40 miles by road, typically via the M11 and M25. In normal conditions allow about 50–80 minutes, though the real time depends on traffic, roadworks and the time of day. Because your fare is fixed, a longer run on the day costs you no more than the price you were quoted.
Kensington sits roughly to the south-west of Stansted. By distance across all the areas we cover from Stansted, this route is an average-length transfer by our usual Stansted standards — the 28th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Stansted, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Kensington against a nearby postcode for the same trip.
Distance and time are approximate, measured by road and intended as a guide only. For airport pickups we track your flight and time the journey to your landing, building in extra for traffic so you are not left waiting.
By road, Kensington is about 40 miles from Stansted, generally via the M11 and M25, and lies to the south-west of the airport itself. Kensington is one of London's most prestigious areas, taking in the museums of South Kensington, High Street Kensington and Holland Park.
Stansted sits to the north-east of London off the M11, the main base for several low-cost airlines.
In everyday London speech, people say “taxi” for almost any hired car, but a licensed minicab is legally distinct from a black cab: it cannot be hailed on the street and must be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle separately licensed for private hire. A pre-booked transfer like this one works on exactly that basis — agreed in advance, licensed throughout, with the fare fixed before you travel. On this specific route, Kensington lies to the south-west of Stansted, a journey of around 40 miles — an average-length transfer by our usual Stansted standards compared with our other Stansted routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
The busiest times for Stansted to Kensington are weekday rush hours, when the M11 and M25 carry commuter traffic alongside airport and local journeys. If you are travelling before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday, it pays to leave a little earlier; evenings, weekends and school holidays tend to move more freely. We plan the timing either way, so the fixed fare and the pickup time both hold.
The pickup point is settled in advance so there is no confusion on the day, and any airport leg is flight-tracked, meaning the car follows your real landing time rather than the original schedule. Either side of the drive, expect the usual airport process — check-in and security outbound, or passport control and baggage reclaim inbound — both allowed for in the included waiting time.
Groups and luggage are worth mentioning at booking rather than working out on the day: a saloon suits up to four people and two large cases comfortably, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater gives more room for extra bags, buggies or sports kit. School holidays and the summer season tend to bring more group and family travel on this kind of journey, so booking a little further ahead helps guarantee the right-sized vehicle at a time that suits you.
Booked this as a single taxi ride? The same fixed fare, driver and vehicle are available for more than one journey:

A company account for corporate airport travel.
Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
A day out further afield with a private tour.
