Stansted Airport to The Connaught Transfer – Fixed Price to Carlos Place
A Stansted Airport to The Connaught transfer is a fixed-price Mercedes chauffeur, around 55 to 75 minutes door to door and from £201 one way, running in both directions 24/7. The return leg, The Connaught to Stansted Airport, is the same fixed fare and the same route in reverse. The hotel sits on Carlos Place, facing Mount Street Gardens, in the quiet village side of Mayfair rather than anywhere near the main hotel row.
This journey is one of the routes on our Stansted chauffeur service 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 Connaught sits close to 40.3 miles south-west of Stansted Airport – see our full range of Stansted hotel transfers for every other hotel MILE5 covers. The route runs the M11 before crossing into Mayfair, 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 Connaught crosses into the zone – the airport itself sits outside both, the charges belong to the journey, not the pickup. Split seven ways, £300 works out at £42 a head for the whole run – a practical option for a family or group arriving together.
Carlos Place and Mount Street’s Village Feel
Carlos Place sits opposite Mount Street Gardens, a small, quiet green space that gives this stretch of Mayfair a genuinely village-like feel despite being minutes from Bond Street’s shopping. The Connaught’s entrance is easy to miss for a driver who doesn’t already know it – a modest facade rather than a grand porte-cochere – and MILE5 drivers who run this pickup regularly know to slow down for the turn rather than relying on it standing out from the street.
MILE5 also covers the Stansted to Claridges Hotel page a short distance away, and for the wider district, our Mayfair transfer page.
One of Several Mayfair Village Hotels
The Connaught sits within the same quiet pocket of Mayfair MILE5 covers for a small number of other well-known hotels. MILE5 also runs our Browns Hotel transfer page, a short walk from the same Mount Street area.
The Connaught 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 easy-to-miss Carlos Place entrance, fixed price |
| Stansted Express + Underground | 48min to Liverpool St + a change | Wins on price for one person, but Mount Street 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 Mount Street 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 against Bolt 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 Mount Street is only a further Underground hop from there. Where the car earns its keep is the entrance itself: a driver unfamiliar with Carlos Place can drive straight past The Connaught’s modest facade, while a driver who runs this route regularly slows down at the right moment.
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 Connaught Chauffeur – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Stansted Airport to The Connaught transfer?
Fares start from £201 one way in the E-Class, £294 in the S-Class and £300 in the V-Class, fixed and agreed before you travel, the same in both directions.
Do you cover The Connaught to Stansted Airport transfers too?
Yes – every booking runs in both directions at the same fixed price, whether you’re travelling out to The Connaught or making the The Connaught to Stansted Airport run afterwards.
Is The Connaught easy to find?
Its entrance on Carlos Place is modest rather than grand, and easy to miss if you don’t already know it – MILE5 drivers who run this route regularly know exactly where to slow down.
How long does the drive from Stansted Airport to The Connaught take?
Around 55 to 75 minutes in normal traffic, running the M11 before crossing into Mayfair.
Is the Stansted Express cheaper than a chauffeur to The Connaught?
On price alone for one person, yes. It’s about 48 minutes to Liverpool Street, but Mount Street needs a further Underground change from there, which doesn’t help with luggage.
Is The Connaught near Mount Street Gardens?
Yes – it faces Mount Street Gardens directly, which gives this part of Mayfair a quiet, village-like feel.
What happens if my flight into Stansted is delayed?
Nothing changes on your end. Every The Connaught 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 £300 for the whole vehicle that works out at £42 a head for a full group.
