Reading to Stansted Airport – Distance, Time & Route
The Reading to London Stansted Airport journey covers approximately 95 miles and takes between 1 hour 45 minutes and 2 hours 15 minutes depending on traffic conditions. The primary route heads east from Reading on the M4 to Junction 4B, then joins the M25 clockwise (anti-clockwise around northern London) and continues north-east onto the M11 which runs directly into Stansted Airport at Junction 8. This route skirts around north London — you never enter central London at all. An alternative route via the M4 → A404(M) → M40 → M25 → M11 through High Wycombe can be used when the M4/M25 Heathrow interchange area is congested. Early morning departures for dawn flights often complete in around 1 hour 45 minutes when roads are clear. During weekday peak hours — particularly on the M25 between Junctions 16 and 27 — the drive may extend to approximately 2 hours 15 minutes. Our drivers use real-time traffic navigation to choose the fastest route on the day.

Why Book Our Reading to Stansted Taxi:
- check_circleFar more practical than trains requiring 2 changes over 2–2.5 hours — skip the GWR Reading → London Paddington (~25 min), Underground from Paddington to Liverpool Street via the Circle, Hammersmith & City, or Elizabeth line (~20–25 min including walking and waiting), then Stansted Express (~47 min) route that drags you through central London with luggage
- check_circleExcellent value for couples and families — a couple sharing a £115 saloon pays just £57.50 each, a family of four in a £140 estate pays just £35 each — often cheaper than peak train tickets
- check_circleReal-time flight tracking — if your Stansted flight is delayed, your return pickup adjusts automatically at zero extra cost
- check_circleM4/M25/M11 route bypasses central London entirely — unlike trains which force you through Paddington, across the Underground to Liverpool Street, and back out north-east to Essex

Features of Our Reading ⇆ Stansted Airport Taxi Service
Door-to-Door from Any Reading Address
The train route from Reading to Stansted involves GWR to London Paddington (~25 min), then the Underground from Paddington to Liverpool Street via the Circle, Hammersmith & City, or Elizabeth line (~20–25 min including walking and waiting), and finally the Stansted Express (~47 min) — a 2–2.5 hour journey with 2 changes that drags you through central London with all your luggage. Our door-to-door taxi Reading to Stansted picks you up from your exact front door — whether that's a flat in Reading town centre near the Oracle, a family home in Caversham or Earley, a property in Tilehurst or Woodley, student accommodation near the University of Reading, or a hotel near Green Park business park — and drives you direct via the M4, M25, and M11 to Stansted's terminal in around 1 hour 45 minutes. No changes, no central London, no hauling cases across the Tube.
Taxi from Stansted Airport to Reading — Return Transfers
Every Stansted Airport taxi from Reading return booking includes our complimentary meet & greet service — your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a personalised name board. Combined with real-time flight tracking, your pickup adjusts automatically if your Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet, or any other Stansted flight is delayed. After a long flight, the last thing you want is to navigate the Stansted Express back through Liverpool Street, transfer across the Underground to Paddington, and then sit on another train back to Reading — we've got you covered from the moment you land, with a relaxed, direct M11/M25/M4 ride home to Berkshire. Return pricing from Stansted to Reading starts at the same £115 fixed fare — no surge, no hidden charges.

Taxi vs Train vs Coach – Reading to Stansted
There's no direct train from Reading to Stansted Airport. The rail route requires GWR to London Paddington (~25 min), the Underground from Paddington to Liverpool Street via the Circle, Hammersmith & City, or Elizabeth line (~20–25 min including walking and waiting), then the Stansted Express (~47 min) — a total of 2–2.5 hours with 2 changes that routes you through central London. Reading sits almost due west of Stansted via the M4 and M25 — our private hire Reading to Stansted taxi takes the motorway route around north London in approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, often arriving faster than the train and bypassing central London entirely.
Train via London Paddington
GWR to London Paddington (~25 min), Underground Paddington → Liverpool Street (~20–25 min + walking), then Stansted Express (~47 min). Total: 2–2.5 hours with 2 changes — through central London's busiest stations with luggage on the Tube. Advance tickets from £35–£75+ per person depending on timing and booking window.
Coach from Reading
National Express offers limited indirect routes from Reading to Stansted — typically via London Victoria or Heathrow interchange, taking 3–4+ hours with 1–2 changes. Very few daily departures, no flexibility for specific flight times, cramped luggage space. Fares: £20–£45 per person. Highly impractical for early morning departures or late-night Stansted arrivals.

How long does it take to drive from Reading to Stansted?
The Reading to Stansted journey covers approximately 95 miles and takes between 1 hour 45 minutes and 2 hours 15 minutes via the M4, M25, and M11. Early morning runs for dawn flights typically complete in around 1 hour 45 minutes when roads are clear.
