Route
The LGW → STN Route
Gatwick to Stansted is a long M25-dominated cross-airport run — north on the M23 from LGW, then clockwise all the way around the east of London on the M25 (including the Dartford Crossing), then north on the M11 to STN.
Standard route
LGW Terminal → M23 J9 northbound → M25 J7 clockwise → past Sevenoaks, M20 (J3), M26, M2 (J2), M20 again, Dartford Crossing (J1a) → M25 north → M11 J6 north → STN. Approximately 80 miles, typically 1h45m–2h off-peak.
Dartford Crossing tolls included
Dart Charge (.50 each way) included in the fixed fare. Driver pre-pays via the standard Dart Charge account — no scrambling for tolls mid-journey.
A21/A1 alternative
If M25 east has major incidents (Dartford Crossing closures are common), driver may take A21 → London → A1(M) north → M25 → M11. Longer but reliable. Same fixed price regardless.
