Two starting prices added together: from £6 for the coach from Gatwick to Victoria and from £7 for the coach from London to Stansted, each including a £1.50 booking fee that is waived when you buy signed in to a My Account. The £7 is National Express's starting price for London to Stansted, not a fare from Victoria in particular; later bookings cost more.

How to get there

From arrivals to Stansted Airport

Three steps once you have collected your bags.

01

Find the stop

South Terminal lower forecourt.

02

Buy your ticket

Book ahead; you cannot simply walk up.

03

Ride to Stansted Airport

235–320 min.

Worth knowing

The 025 leaves the South Terminal 16 times a day, the first at 03:20 and the last at 00:05 (the North Terminal ten minutes later), and goes through Heathrow to Victoria. The A8 for Stansted leaves Victoria every 20 to 40 minutes from 01:00 to 23:10, so the wait there is 20 to 40 minutes.

Every 025 from Gatwick goes through Heathrow, which is why the coach takes 2 hours 10 to 2 hours 50 to Victoria. It leaves the South Terminal first, then the North Terminal ten minutes later.

The 025 sets you down at the Arrivals Hall of Victoria Coach Station and the A8 leaves from the Departures Hall; allow time to walk between them.

National Express advises being at the airport three hours before a flight, so do not plan a connection tighter than that by coach.
