Stansted Airport to Marriott County Hall Transfer – Fixed Price to the Former GLC Building

The return leg, Marriott County Hall to Stansted Airport, is the same fixed fare and the same route in reverse. The hotel occupies part of the former Greater London Council headquarters, with river-facing rooms that look straight across the Thames at Westminster.

All prices are fixed and all-inclusive, agreed before you travel, in both directions. Final quote depends on exact pickup or drop-off address, vehicle choice and any additional stops. No surge pricing, no hidden fees.
Every fare includes in-terminal meet-and-greet inside the Stansted arrivals hall, flight tracking so a delayed landing doesn’t cost you the booking, and 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time. The £10 Express Set Down charge at the terminal is absorbed in the price shown, and so is the ULEZ charge and the Congestion Charge where the journey into London Marriott Hotel County Hall crosses into the zone – the airport itself sits outside both, the charges belong to the journey, not the pickup. Split seven ways, £297 works out at £42 a head for the whole run – a practical option for a family or group arriving together.
The Former GLC Headquarters
County Hall was built as the headquarters of London’s local government, first the London County Council and then the Greater London Council, before the building was sold off and converted for hotel and leisure use. The Marriott occupies a large share of that grand riverside block, and the best rooms face directly across the Thames towards the Houses of Parliament. The building’s scale and its position on a bend in the river mean the entrance isn’t always obvious from the road, and MILE5 drivers who run this pickup regularly know exactly which of County Hall’s several access points to use.
MILE5 also covers the Stansted to Shangri-La at The Shard page a short distance away, and for the wider district, our full range of Stansted hotel transfers.

Marriott County Hall sits alongside a small number of other well-known hotels MILE5 covers along the South Bank. MILE5 also runs our Park Plaza transfer page, a short walk along the same stretch of riverfront.
London Marriott Hotel County Hall Chauffeur vs the Stansted Express vs a Hire Car
For one person travelling in daylight hours, the honest comparison starts with the train, not the car.
| Option | Journey time | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| MILE5 chauffeur | 55-75min | Door to door, straight to the correct County Hall entrance, fixed price |
| Stansted Express + Underground | 48min to Liverpool St + a change | Wins on price for one person, but County Hall needs a further Underground leg south – manageable without much luggage, less so with a case each |
| Hire car | 55-75min | Similar drive time, but parking around County Hall is scarce, on top of the ULEZ and Congestion Charge – both already built into MILE5’s fixed price |
For a family or group arriving together, the better comparison is a pre-booked chauffeur against a minicab booked at short notice – see MILE5’s comparison of Uber Exec against Uber Lux in London.
What Running This Route Has Taught Us
The Stansted Express is honestly the right call for one person catching a daytime train into Liverpool Street – it’s faster and it’s cheaper, and County Hall is only a further Underground hop from there. Where the car earns its keep is the building itself: a driver unfamiliar with County Hall’s scale can circle a large block looking for the entrance, while a driver who runs this route regularly goes straight to the correct access point.
Your Driver at Stansted Airport
Stansted has one terminal building – there’s no North or South side to specify, unlike Gatwick. Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall holding a name board, tracking your flight so a delay shifts the pickup time rather than costing you the booking. The Express Set Down area sits right next to the terminal, and the £10 charge there is already built into the fixed price above. Check the arrivals board and MILE5‘s own Stansted Airport guide for terminal-specific detail on the day.

How much is a Stansted Airport to Marriott County Hall transfer?

Yes – every booking runs in both directions at the same fixed price, whether you’re travelling out to Marriott County Hall or making the Marriott County Hall to Stansted Airport run afterwards.
Is County Hall really the former GLC building?
