The Poplar → Stansted Route
From E14 the standard route uses the Limehouse Link tunnel to escape Canary Wharf quickly, then A12 east and M11 north — mostly motorway and tunnels, predictable timings outside peak.

"Booked from Canary Wharf for a 6:25am Krakow flight. Driver outside the hotel at 4:00, smooth Limehouse Link → A12 → M11, dropped at Stansted at 4:55. as quoted. Beats hauling luggage onto the Tube at 4am."

"Six business travellers from a Marsh Wall hotel to Stansted for a Saturday morning flight. The MPV at fixed split between us was much cheaper than two separate Stansted Expresses, and a lot less stress."
