Distance and time are approximate, measured by road and intended as a guide only. For airport pickups we track your flight and time the journey to your landing, building in extra for traffic so you are not left waiting.
By road, Stratford is about 35 miles from Southend, generally via the A127 and A13, and lies to the west of the airport itself. Stratford, in east London, is a major transport and shopping hub anchored by the Olympic Park and Westfield.
Southend Airport is east of London in Essex, a smaller airport with its own railway station and a relaxed feel.
Plenty of people use “taxi” loosely for any hired car, but a licensed minicab is a distinct, regulated category from a black cab: no hailing on the street, a booking made ahead of time, and separate private hire licensing for both car and driver. This transfer runs on that same basis — booked ahead, fully licensed, fare fixed before you set off. On this specific route, Stratford lies to the west of Southend, a journey of around 35 miles — one of the shorter transfers we run from Southend compared with our other Southend routes, though the licensed, pre-booked model is identical whichever direction you are travelling.
The busiest times for Southend to Stratford are weekday rush hours, when the A127 and A13 carry commuter traffic alongside airport and local journeys. If you are travelling before 8am or after 5pm on a weekday, it pays to leave a little earlier; evenings, weekends and school holidays tend to move more freely. We plan the timing either way, so the fixed fare and the pickup time both hold.
Nothing about the pickup is left to chance: the meeting point is agreed in advance, and on airport legs we track the flight so the timing matches your real arrival, not the timetable. Plan for the usual airport process around the journey itself — security and check-in outbound, passport control and baggage inbound — which is exactly what the free waiting allowance in your fare is there for.
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.

Airport meet & greet, if you would rather be met inside arrivals.
A bigger group travelling together with minibus transfers.
