Bishop's Stortford is a market town in the East Hertfordshire district, 11 miles east-north-east of the county town of Hertford and 28 miles north-north-east of Charing Cross in central London. The town adjoins the Essex border; the M11 motorway runs along its east side and Stansted Airport sits immediately east of the M11. The 2021 census recorded a population of 40,955.
