Premium transfers from Southend Airport

London Southend Airport (SEN) is located on the coast around 40 miles from central London, just outside the resort town of Southend-on-Sea in Essex. It's one of London’s six major airports, and is the furthest airport from the capital (it's slightly further than Stansted). This is why it might be a convenient option to book a Blacklane as your Southend Airport taxi transfer when you need to get into London. Book a premium Southend transfer and be greeted in the arrivals hall by your personal chauffeur. You'll then be driven to your destination in a comfortable, premium vehicle. Use the 1 hour 20 minute journey time to catch up on a few emails, make some personal calls, or simply relax in the backseat. If London isn’t your final destination, Blacklane also offers a number of other long distance routes from London Southend to nearby Chelmsford and Colchester. Take the stress out of airport transfers and avoid public transport and lengthy taxi lines when you book a direct taxi alternative with Blacklane.

London’s seaside airport

Book a Southend Airport transfer (SEN) directly to central London with a private chauffeur, avoiding taxi queues and multiple changes on the train. Despite its name, London Southend airport is pretty far from central London. It's one of the city’s six international airports, alongside Heathrow (LHR) in the west, Gatwick (LGW) to the south, Luton (LTN) and Stansted in the north, and London City (LCY) in the heart of town. Southend Airport is ideal if you’re staying in Essex or East London. It's also one of the major hubs for international visitors to the British coast, as it lies just a few miles north of the resort town of Southend-on-Sea. Here you will find the Adventure Island amusement park, the 100-year-old Cliff Lift, and the 1.33-mile long Southend Pier which stretches out into the Thames Estuary.
