One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a family home in Emerson Park, the airport to the Queen's Theatre on Billet Lane, or a house in Elm Park to Southend Airport for a weekend city break. For your arrival, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: the terminal to a rented flat in Hornchurch for a six-week run at the Queen's Theatre, and the flat back to Southend Airport after the last performance. A show's closing date is set long in advance, so the return can sit in the same reservation. 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 Hornchurch: Route and Drive Time

Hornchurch belongs to Havering, the London borough at the capital's eastern end, and the airport lies east of it in Essex. The drive is 24 miles, normally 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, heading west on the A127, the main road from south-east Essex towards London, and then into Havering.

The town has several distinct parts: Emerson Park on the north side, the centre around the High Street and Billet Lane, and Elm Park around its own District line station. Tell us which one, as the car's last turn off the main road depends on it. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Southend Airport

At Southend every passenger passes through one terminal, a compact building with the airport's railway station close by.

On your arrival day, 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.

From the airport station, trains reach Stratford in about 44 minutes, but Hornchurch is not on that line, so a rail journey with suitcases means changing trains in east London. The car goes from the terminal to Havering in one ride.

Arriving at Your Address in Hornchurch

The Queen's Theatre on Billet Lane makes its own productions. If you are joining a show there as an actor, a musician or part of the creative team, give the theatre and Billet Lane as the destination, or the address of the flat you have rented for the run.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For a flat, add the building name and flat number.

The country park south of the town, beside the Ingrebourne, was once the RAF Hornchurch airfield; a walk there is an easy first afternoon after a morning flight.

From Hornchurch Back to London Southend Airport

The drive back east takes 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, and traffic on the A127 decides which end of that range you get. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

London City Airport is closer to Hornchurch, so Southend is the choice when your airline or route is there. With a single terminal, the departure needs no terminal number.

If you leave Hornchurch on a winter morning after the last night of a show, book the airport car before the final performance, not after the party that follows it.
