The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Southend-on-Sea is at your door, whether that is the town centre, a Essex village or a business park; the driver is named the day before and texts on arrival. At the London end we drop at the West End, the City, Westminster, Kensington or the South Bank. Oxford Street is pedestrianised from late October 2026, so West End drops use the nearest open side street.
At 41 miles this is a 66-96 min drive in normal conditions. Roadworks and rush hour are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
Central London to Southend-on-Sea: the return leg
Central London to Southend-on-Sea is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. For an airport or station pick-up we track the flight or train, meet you at the agreed point and include waiting time, so a delay never changes the price. Book both legs together and the return is 1.8 times a single; if plans change, one message moves the booking.
