Default Best route Stansted Express - Turnham Green

What is the best route from Liverpool Street or Tottenham Hale to Turnham
Green, with luggage?

We arrive on Friday 23 May in the evening and leave again Saturday 31 May,
early morning. When should we start from Turnham Green to be at Stansted
Airport at about 0730?


According to the TFL journey planner, you need to leave at 5.40

Looking at the tube map, I can at see at least these options:

Tottenham Hale - Victoria - Turnham Green


Bridge over line (stairs/escalator?) at TH.
Very long flight of stairs to change at Victoria.

Liverpool Street - Holborn - Hammersmith (cross platform) - Turnham Green


Escalators, and possibly stairs at Liverpool St.
Long escalators, and stairs, at Holborn.

Liverpool Street - Notting Hill Gate - Earl's Court - Turnham Green

Escalators, and possibly stairs at Liverpool St.
Stairs and maybe escalators at NHG.

Liverpool Street - Edgware Road - Earl's Court - Turnham Green


Stairs at LS over the line.
Possibility of having to use stairs over line at Edgware Rd.

Liverpool Street - Tower Hill - Turnham Green


For a minimum number of steps:

Southbound - Ignore Tottenham Hale as there is a bridge over tracks.
Travel to Liverpool St then get a clockwise Circle train (there's a
step-free route but can be hard to find), change anywhere along the
southern leg, to a District.

Northbound - Piccadilly or District + Piccadilly, then change to
Victoria at Finsbury Park. Escalators up to the northbound Stansted
Express platform.
