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.
