Stratford Minicabs cover the E15 and E20 postcodes around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Westfield Stratford City and the international station. Good motorway access via the A12 and A11 means our routes to the eastern airports tend to be more direct than the equivalent west London journey, which matters given how much this part of London has grown.
Heathrow from Stratford is a full cross-city run, typically 65 to 80 minutes off-peak via the A11, A12 and A40 or M4. It's one of the longer Heathrow transfers we quote, so we always build in a wide buffer rather than promising a tight window. Given how far apart the two ends of London are here, this is a journey we treat as needing a realistic estimate rather than an optimistic one, particularly for early morning departures.
Gatwick is similarly long at around 70 to 85 minutes via the A12, A102 through the Blackwall Tunnel and the M25, or the A11 and A406 depending on conditions. Either way it's a genuine cross-London journey we treat as a flight-tracked fixed price, since the difference between the two routes can shift by 15 minutes or more depending on the time of day and how busy the tunnel is.
London City is the standout option from Stratford — usually just 15 to 20 minutes via the A11 and A112, making it by far the quickest airport run in our coverage area from here. Stansted is also convenient at around 35 to 45 minutes via the A12 and M11.
Every quote is fixed at booking, and because London City and Stansted are both genuinely quick from Stratford, those fares are usually priced more competitively than the longer Heathrow and Gatwick runs. There's no surcharge for pickups right by Westfield or the Olympic Park compared with the quieter residential streets nearby.
For arrivals we track your flight and meet you inside the terminal, adjusting automatically for early or late landings without extra charge.
Saloons suit quick London City hops well, while estates and MPVs are more common for the longer Heathrow and Gatwick bookings, or for group travel connected to events at the Olympic Park, when several passengers are often travelling together with sports kit or extra luggage.
This is the obvious choice if London City or Stansted is your regular airport — both are genuinely quick from E15/E20, and that same local road knowledge carries over to planning the longer Heathrow and Gatwick journeys realistically rather than optimistically. Drivers here also know the quickest way around Stratford's one-way gyratory system near the station.
