The journey between Southend and Merton is roughly 50 miles by road, typically via the A127 and A13.

This route covers around 50 miles between Southend and Merton, typically using the A127 and A13, with Merton positioned to the west-south-west of the airport. Merton, in south-west London, takes in Wimbledon, Mitcham and Morden, best known for the tennis championships.
Southend Airport is east of London in Essex, a smaller airport with its own railway station and a relaxed feel.
In everyday London speech, people say “taxi” for almost any hired car, but a licensed minicab is legally distinct from a black cab: it cannot be hailed on the street and must be booked in advance, with the driver and vehicle separately licensed for private hire. A pre-booked transfer like this one works on exactly that basis — agreed in advance, licensed throughout, with the fare fixed before you travel. On this specific route, Merton lies to the west-south-west of Southend, a journey of around 50 miles — a fairly typical distance for one of our airport transfers compared with our other Southend routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
the A127 and A13 are at their busiest on weekday mornings and early evenings around Southend to Merton, as commuter traffic overlaps with airport and local trips. Early or late weekday journeys benefit from extra time in the schedule; quieter periods fall on evenings, weekends and school holidays. Whatever the traffic, your driver plans the route in advance and the fare does not change.
The pickup point is settled in advance so there is no confusion on the day, and any airport leg is flight-tracked, meaning the car follows your real landing time rather than the original schedule. Either side of the drive, expect the usual airport process — check-in and security outbound, or passport control and baggage reclaim inbound — both allowed for in the included waiting time.
It helps to flag your group size and luggage when you book rather than on the day — a saloon comfortably takes four passengers and two large cases, and an estate, MPV or 8-seater covers anything bigger, from extra suitcases to pushchairs. Demand for this kind of trip tends to rise in school holidays and over summer, so an earlier booking makes it easier to lock in the vehicle you need.

A company account for corporate airport travel.
Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
