Our
offices are in a Business Park near to the centre of Stansted
Mountfitchet village. London-Stansted airport is very close by.
Travelling
by Air
The
closest airport is London Stansted - from here it is about
a 5 minute taxi journey to Optima Research. We strongly recommend
all visitors who fly to the UK to arrive at Stansted airport.
If
you arrive at London Heathrow or Gatwick, you can travel into
London by train, and then travel out again by train from Liverpool
Street station, either to Stansted airport or to Stansted Mountfitchet
station. See "Travelling by Rail" below. Alternatively
you can hire a car, or take a coach to Stansted airport. See "Travelling
by Coach" below.
For
flight information, maps and public transport information for
UK airports, please visit the British Airports Authority web site
at www.baa.co.uk.
Travelling
By Road
Take
junction 8 of the M11 - Bishop's Stortford/Stansted Airport.
Take
the exit off the junction signposted A120 Hertford, Bishops Stortford.
Go
straight across the next roundabout and continue on this road
until you come to another roundabout. Take the 3rd exit signposted
B1383 Newport.
Continue
for a mile on this road and you will enter the village of Stansted
Mountfitchet. As you enter Stansted driving up a hill between
tall trees, you will see a hotel called the Old Bell Hotel on
your right. Take the right hand turning immediately before the
hotel (Stoney Common Road). This is a narrow road. Follow it downhill,
and over the railway bridge, and Riverside Business Park is on
your left hand side.

Travelling by Coach
National
Express coaches run regularly from London Heathrow and
Gatwick airports to the coach station at London Stansted
airport, where there are plenty of taxis available. Journey time
is about 1 hour from London Heathrow, 2 hours from London Gatwick.
The link below gives you the bus timetables.
Travelling
by Train
There
is a fast and regular service from London Liverpool Street railway
station to Stansted Airport, and from there you can get a taxi
to our offices. This is the easiest way!
Alternatively
you can take a train from London Liverpool Street to Stansted
Mountfitchet station. This is closer to our offices (approximately
5 minutes walk), but is a slower and less frequent service as
it stops at many small stations.
