Our Services in Stratford
Since the 2012 Games, Stratford has become one of East London’s busiest hubs. Westfield Stratford City, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London Stadium and the growing East Bank cultural quarter sit beside one of the best-connected stations in London, with Stratford International a short walk away.
Stratford is right next to Leyton, our home postcode area of E10, so it is familiar ground. We provide chauffeur cars, minibuses and coaches for journeys to and from Stratford, with every booking confirmed by quote.
OVERVIEW
Shopping, Sport and the Olympic Park
Stratford handles very different kinds of journey in a single day: shoppers heading to Westfield, commuters changing trains, office workers at International Quarter London, and tens of thousands of fans arriving for a match or concert at London Stadium.
Our services range from single chauffeur transfers to coach hire for large groups, planned around event-day closures and the area's busy road network.
The Olympic Park also includes the Copper Box Arena, the Lee Valley VeloPark and East Bank, home to new cultural venues, so our vehicles regularly serve a wide range of events across the park.
Olympic Park
London Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Copper Box and the Orbit.

EXECUTIVE CHAUFFEUR
Executive Cars From Stratford
Business travellers working at International Quarter London or visiting East Bank institutions often need fast links to the City, Canary Wharf or an airport. Our E-Class is a practical choice for regular journeys, and the S-Class suits VIP guests and hospitality.
For families or small teams travelling together, the V-Class offers extra space. Tell us about luggage or special requirements and the team will confirm the right car.
Travellers arriving at Stratford International from Kent, or changing from the Elizabeth line, can be met and taken on to offices, hotels or airports across London.
AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Quick Access to City Airport and Stansted
Stratford is well positioned for two airports. London City Airport lies a short distance south, and Stansted is reached by heading north-east on the A12 to join the M11. Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton are longer journeys around or across London.
Our airport transfers include returns and group bookings. Share flight numbers and passenger counts with your enquiry, and request a meet-and-greet if you would like one arranged.
Stratford hotel guests heading to Stansted for early flights often prefer a car to the coach, especially with children or heavy luggage. Share your departure time and the team will advise.

PICKUP INFORMATION
Meeting Points Around Stratford
Stratford station has several exits, including the Westfield side and the town centre side by the Stratford Centre. Let us know which you will use, and we will confirm a meeting point nearby. Westfield has its own car parks and drop-off areas.
On London Stadium event days, roads around the Olympic Park are closed or restricted for several hours. We plan drop-offs and collections outside the closure zone and share the exact location before the day.
For pickups at Stratford International, the station has its own approach road north of Westfield, which is often quieter.
TRAVEL PLANNING
Plan Around Event Days
Check the London Stadium calendar before booking travel around Stratford, because match days and concerts change traffic patterns considerably. The A12 and the Bow Interchange are busy at peak times, which can affect journeys towards the City and Canary Wharf.
Since we are based in neighbouring E10, the team knows the local roads well. Start your enquiry on the booking page.
Westfield is also extremely busy in the run-up to Christmas and during the January sales, which affects pickups and traffic on the surrounding roads, so allow extra time.
