One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a hotel in Romford town centre, the airport to Queen's Hospital on Rom Valley Way, or a Gidea Park semi to the airport ahead of a late easyJet departure. For the flight in, 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 Southend Airport to a family home in Harold Wood when you fly in for a fortnight, and from the house back along the A127 to the terminal at the end of the stay. Before Christmas, local cars are reserved early, so book both directions together. 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 Romford: Route and Drive Time

Romford, Havering's principal town, lies where Greater London meets Essex, and the A127 links it with the airport across south Essex. The drive is 26 miles, normally 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, and the town is reached from the east, after the M25.

The arterial road brings you to the edge of the town; from there your address decides the route. The centre is around the Market Place and The Liberty and The Brewery shopping centres; Gidea Park and Harold Wood are residential districts to the north-east; Queen's Hospital is on Rom Valley Way. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Southend Airport

Southend has a single terminal and its own station a short walk away, with trains to Stratford in about 44 minutes. Romford, though, is not on that line: by rail you would change at Shenfield onto the Elizabeth line and travel back east of London's centre, or go on to Stratford and come out again.

When the flight touches down, 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.

For Romford, the A127 gives a single road journey instead, with no change of train and no luggage on the platforms.

Arriving at Your Address in Romford

Residential addresses in Gidea Park and Harold Wood need nothing more than a street and number. For the town centre, name the shopping centre, the street or the hotel.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up.

If you have flown in for a performance at the Queen's Theatre in neighbouring Hornchurch, the car can drop you at your hotel in Romford first. Romford station, in Travelcard Zone 6, is useful if you plan to continue into central London by Elizabeth line the next day; it can be the destination of a later booking.

From Romford Back to London Southend Airport

Allow 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes for the drive out along the A127, more when the arterial road is busy with commuter traffic. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Every airline at Southend shares the one building, which leaves only the hour for you to settle.

When the market is trading, choose a side street near the Market Place for the pick-up rather than the square itself, and name that street in the booking.
