Is it possible to walk from Stansted airport to the Holiday Inn Express at Stansted airport

I have walked from Stansted Airport to “Premier Inn Stansted Airport”
several times. Which is very close to “Holiday Inn Express Stansted Airport”

But have in mind that I only travel very light. I am a backpacker
that hate to waste good money on services not needed.

You can walk from the terminal in around 15-20 mins however there are no safe walkways you will be walking on verges next to main roads and for safety reasons is not recommended. The shuttle bus leaves from bay 21 at the airport bus terminal every half an hour on the quarter too and quarter past the hour with the last bus leaving at 00:45.

Alternatively a taxi is around £8.50 meaning that if there is 3 or 4 of you it would be cheaper to take that option.

Yes, I believe it is possible. Google maps seems to have got confused as to where the hotel is, and about access on the large East West road. By dropping the destination pin correctly, your ten hour walk can be reduced to 8 minutes, like this or to 25 minutes like this (from the station).

Note I haven’t actually done the walk concerned. The easiest hotel to reach by foot from Stansted is the Radison Blu Hotel Stansted Airport, which is around 3 minutes walk away and involves crossing no major roads.

Note the Holiday Inn Express per this page has a shuttle bus too. It doesn’t say whether it’s 24 hour, but they often cover all times passengers want to travel; you could ring the hotel to check.

There appears to be an entrance to the airport carpark off the same roundabout that provides access to the Holiday Inn.

Based off this streetview view it appears to be the “mid-stay” and “free set down” car park. There is a bus with “7” written on it entering at that time.

You’d still have to walk some distance through the car park, and then along the verge/road across the dual carriageway and roundabout, but it avoids the longer walk down Thremhall Avenue.

The mid-stay carpark is mentioned on the stansted airport website as having a transfer bus that:

  • Transfer time: 4 – 5 minutes by shuttle bus.
  • Free shuttle buses operate every 10 minutes.
  • Buses operate 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

It’s not clear from the website where you catch the car park bus from at the terminal end however.
