Stratford
is the closest practical London Underground station to Stansted Airport
near the motorway link.
The competing coach services go to Central London locations where
journey times are prone to delay by traffic congestion.
The Central and Jubilee Line of the London Underground system cover
most of the accommodation districts direct from Stratford.
Do remember the London Underground only operates broadly between 05:00
and 24:00. The coach service runs much longer. |
