Southend-on-Sea to/from London Chauffeur Transfers
Door-to-door private transfers between Southend, Old Leigh, Shoeburyness or London Southend Airport and any London address, direct on the A127. Twelve vehicles across four classes, fixed price, no surge.
The 40-mile drive between Southend-on-Sea and London takes roughly one hour fifteen minutes on the A127 and M25, with optional stops at Basildon, Brentwood or the Lakeside shopping centre en route. Chauffeurz operates door-to-door transfers seven days a week in both directions — from any Southend address to Central London, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or London Southend Airport itself.
Southend-on-Sea is the closest proper seaside resort to London. The town owns the world's longest pleasure pier — one point three four miles of Victorian ironwork stretching out into the Thames Estuary — along with Adventure Island's rides, the Cliffs Pavilion theatre, and the working fishing quays of Old Leigh where the cockle sheds still smoke every morning. London Southend Airport, ten minutes north of the town, connects to European destinations. Whether you're heading to a Cliffs Pavilion show, a summer weekend by the sea, a Southend United fixture, or catching a flight from Southend Airport, we have a class for every trip. All journeys are fixed price with no Uber surge, no c2c or Greater Anglia connection changes, and no expensive station parking.
