Stansted Airport to The Berkeley Transfer – Fixed Price to Wilton Place
A Stansted Airport to The Berkeley transfer is a fixed-price Mercedes chauffeur, around 55 to 75 minutes door to door and from £202 one way, running in both directions 24/7. The return leg, The Berkeley to Stansted Airport, is the same fixed fare and the same route in reverse. The hotel sits on Wilton Place, tucked off the main road on the Belgravia edge of Knightsbridge – the quiet counterpoint to Mandarin Oriental’s shopfront position a short walk away.
This journey is one of the routes on our luxury Stansted airport transfer page, which covers every destination we drive from the airport with the same Mercedes fleet, the same met-at-arrivals pickup and the same fixed-price promise.

The Berkeley sits close to 40.6 miles south-west of Stansted Airport – see Stansted to London hotels, in full for every other hotel MILE5 covers. The route runs the M11 before crossing into central London, and in normal traffic that’s around 55 to 75 minutes.

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 The Berkeley crosses into the zone – the airport itself sits outside both, the charges belong to the journey, not the pickup. Split seven ways, £301 works out at £43 a head for the whole run – a practical option for a family or group arriving together.
Wilton Place: Quiet, Set Back, Easy to Overshoot
The Berkeley sits on Wilton Place, set back from the main Knightsbridge road on the Belgravia side – a genuinely quieter approach than Mandarin Oriental’s shopfront position further along, even though the two hotels are only a short walk apart. Because Wilton Place isn’t a through-road lined with shops, it’s easy for a driver relying on satnav alone to overshoot the turn and end up looping back from further down Knightsbridge. MILE5 drivers who run this pickup regularly know the Wilton Place turn without needing to double back.
MILE5 also covers our Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park transfer service and the The Goring route page, both a short distance away, and for the wider district, see our Knightsbridge transfer.
One of Several Knightsbridge and Belgravia Hotels
The Berkeley sits within the same pocket of Knightsbridge and Belgravia MILE5 covers for several other well-known hotels. MILE5 also runs The Cadogan from Stansted Airport and The Kensington Hotel from Stansted Airport, both within easy reach of the same part of London.
The Berkeley 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 onto Wilton Place without doubling back, fixed price |
| Stansted Express + Underground | 48min to Liverpool St + a change | Wins on price for one person, but Knightsbridge needs a further Underground leg west – manageable without much luggage, less so with a case each |
| Hire car | 55-75min | Similar drive time, but parking around Wilton Place is scarce – and the ULEZ is 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 Knightsbridge is only a further Underground hop from there. Where the car earns its keep is Wilton Place itself: a driver relying purely on satnav can overshoot the quiet turn and need to loop back, while a driver who runs this route regularly takes it first time.
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.

Stansted to The Berkeley Chauffeur – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Stansted Airport to The Berkeley transfer?
Fares start from £202 one way in the E-Class, £295 in the S-Class and £301 in the V-Class, fixed and agreed before you travel, the same in both directions.
Do you cover The Berkeley to Stansted Airport transfers too?
Yes – every booking runs in both directions at the same fixed price, whether you’re travelling out to The Berkeley or making the The Berkeley to Stansted Airport run afterwards.
Is The Berkeley on the same road as Mandarin Oriental?
No – The Berkeley sits on Wilton Place, set back on the Belgravia side, a quieter approach than Mandarin Oriental’s Knightsbridge shopfront a short walk away.
How long does the drive from Stansted Airport to The Berkeley take?
Around 55 to 75 minutes in normal traffic, running the M11 before crossing into central London.
Is the Stansted Express cheaper than a chauffeur to The Berkeley?

Do your drivers know the Wilton Place turn?
Yes – MILE5 drivers who run this route regularly know exactly where to turn without needing to double back.
What happens if my flight into Stansted is delayed?
Nothing changes on your end. Every The Berkeley booking is flight-tracked, so a delayed landing shifts your driver’s pickup time automatically rather than costing you the fare or the booking.
Can I book a larger vehicle for a family or group?
Yes – the V-Class seats up to seven with matching luggage space, and at £301 for the whole vehicle that works out at £43 a head for a full group.
