Travelling to Croydon from Stanstead Airport:
A selection of the best options for getting to Croydon from London's Stanstead Airport...
Option1- airporttaxis-uk.co.uk
Private car hire/taxi is a great option and I can recommend an excellent car service which you can easily book online. When you arrive at the airport they will be waiting for you with a placard with your name on.
They will take you directly to the apartment and the drive takes around 1hour 20 minutes or more depending on the traffic.
Please check their website for prices. Larger vehicles are available for those with lots of luggage or larger groups. For four persons with minimal luggage this could work out well so it's worth considering particularly when you factor in the hassle of getting on and off trains with baggage and/or children.
Option 2- Underground and overground train......
Overground and underground from Stanstead Airport.
As you can see by the map below, Stanstead Airport is quite a distance from East Croydon but the good news is that trains are frequent on all stages of the journey.
