One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a house by the River Cray, the airport to a firm on one of the town's trading estates, or a flat near Crayford station to Southend for an early departure. For an incoming flight, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for the flight out, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: from your home in Crayford to Southend Airport for a club weekend away, and from the terminal back to Crayford when the team flies home. For a group, one booking with both dates keeps the return in place. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at SEN, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

London Southend Airport to Crayford: Route and Drive Time

Crayford belongs to the London Borough of Bexley, in the south-east of the capital, right on the Kent boundary. From Southend Airport the car runs west through south Essex, crosses the Thames at Dartford and then turns back towards London, so the town is reached from the Kent side. The trip is 30 miles, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes.

The last miles depend on the address. The River Cray runs through the town down to the Thames marshes, homes spread on both sides of it, and trading estates sit near the main roads; the A2 and the M25 are both close. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Southend Airport

Southend has one terminal, and its railway station is a short walk away. Crayford station, though, sends its Southeastern trains to London Bridge by way of Sidcup and Lewisham, so a train journey home would mean riding into London on one line and back out on another.

On landing, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

The airport station runs until 02:00, yet after a late flight a car from the terminal to Crayford avoids the two-line trip across London.

Arriving at Your Address in Crayford

Crayford was part of Kent until 1965 and is now the last London town before Dartford. Early in the twentieth century its Vickers works produced aircraft and machine guns, and its greyhound track staged a final meeting in January 2025.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a house by the river, the street name and house number will do; if you are going to a trading estate, give the firm's name too.

Going on to Bluewater rather than home? Book the shopping centre as the address; it is about 8 miles from Crayford, beyond Dartford.

From Crayford Back to London Southend Airport

The drive to the airport takes 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes on an ordinary day. Leaving London for Kent and then crossing into Essex through the Dartford tunnels, the timing depends on how the crossing is flowing, so work out the pick-up from the drive length rather than the departure time. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Southend has no terminal to choose, so the booking needs only your Crayford address and the flight.

If your flight leaves on a bank holiday weekend, when cars around the borough are reserved early, book the run to the airport as soon as you have your ticket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

How many miles lie between Southend Airport and Crayford?

It is 30 miles, and on a normal day the car needs 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, crossing the Thames at Dartford on the way.

The airline has pushed our Southend landing back by three hours. Do we need to act?

Only to correct the flight details in the booking if the flight number changed. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, so the car follows the new landing.

Can I miss the chauffeur at Southend Airport if I take the wrong exit?

Hardly, because the airport has only one terminal. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

Does the trip to Crayford involve the ULEZ or the Dartford Crossing charge?

The route touches both. Crayford is in a London borough, and the Ultra Low Emission Zone covers every London borough around the clock. The Dart Charge applies at the crossing from 06:00 to 22:00 every day and is paid remotely, as there are no barriers. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

A football team of 14 with kit is coming home from a tournament. What should we book?

A coach, or two vans: a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats. List the kit bags in the booking so the vehicle is matched to the load.

What do you need to know about London Southend Airport in 2026–2027?

Southend handled 720,000 passengers in 2025, up from 288,000 a year earlier, and easyJet plans to base a fourth aircraft there for summer 2027. Since 17 September 2026 easyJet has also flown from Southend to Munich.
