The M11 runs for 51 miles from Woodford in Essex to Girton in Cambridgeshire. It was built in the nineteen seventies to take traffic from London to the then newly-developed Stansted airport (now the fourth busiest airport in the United Kingdom). An additional two-lane section was built north of there, completed in the early eighties, to get traffic to Cambridge and then onto what is now the A14 (and via that, onto the A1).

At the London end, the motorway starts at Junction 4; three junctions are missing from the start of the motorway, the unbuilt part would have been a route further into London to reach Ringway 1, a proposed inner ring motorway for London. The link was eventually built to a different design in the 1990s as the A12 between the A406 and Hackney Wick
