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

Putney sits roughly to the west of Southend. By distance across all the areas we cover from Southend, this route is a middle-distance run, neither especially short nor long for Southend — the 40th shortest of the 64 areas we cover from Southend, by road distance — useful context if you are weighing up Putney against a nearby postcode for the same trip.

This route covers around 50 miles between Southend and Putney, typically using the A127 and A13, with Putney positioned to the west of the airport. Putney sits on the south bank of the Thames in south-west London, a smart riverside suburb known for rowing and its bridge.
Southend Airport is east of London in Essex, a smaller airport with its own railway station and a relaxed feel.
The word “taxi” gets used for almost any hired car in everyday conversation, but a licensed minicab is a genuinely separate, regulated category from a black cab — it must be pre-booked rather than hailed, and both the driver and vehicle carry their own private hire licence. That is exactly how this transfer is arranged: booked in advance, licensed throughout, and priced before you travel. On this specific route, Putney lies to the west of Southend, a journey of around 50 miles — a middle-distance run, neither especially short nor long for Southend compared with our other Southend routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
Traffic around Southend to Putney builds fastest on weekday mornings and early evenings, when commuters share the A127 and A13 with airport and local traffic. A journey before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday is when it is worth allowing extra time; outside those windows, and at weekends, the roads are usually calmer. Either way, our drivers build a buffer into every pickup so a slow patch of traffic does not turn into a rushed one.
We agree the exact pickup point with you before the day, so there is nothing to work out when you travel, and any airport leg has the flight tracked so timing follows your real schedule rather than the printed one. Build in the normal airport steps around the drive — check-in and security outbound, passport control and baggage on arrival — both covered by the waiting time already included in your fare.
Mentioning your group size and luggage at booking, rather than on the day, means we bring the right car from the start — a saloon for four passengers and two large cases, or an estate, MPV or 8-seater when there is more to carry. Expect more demand for this kind of journey around school holidays and summer, so a little lead time helps when it comes to booking the right vehicle.
