Getting Around Bexley
Bexley, often called Old Bexley, is the village that gave its name to the London Borough of Bexley, the south-eastern corner of Greater London on the border with Kent. On the edge of the village stands Hall Place, a Tudor house with formal gardens beside the River Cray.
Bexley station is on the Southeastern line through Sidcup and Lewisham to London Bridge and Charing Cross. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival. Just beyond the borough boundary, Dartford is 4 miles east, 15–20 minutes.
The A2 passes just north of the village, beside Hall Place, and joins the M25 a few miles east, so Bexley has fast road links to Kent and, over the Dartford Crossing, to Essex. For a cottage on a lane or an event at Hall Place, send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. On a day with meetings in Dartford, Bluewater and Canary Wharf, book by the hour: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.
Airport Transfers in Bexley
London City Airport is 12 miles, 35–50 minutes, and is linked by the DLR to ExCeL. Gatwick is 40 miles round the M25, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes. Southend Airport is 33 miles, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, with the Thames crossed at Dartford. Stansted Airport is 44 miles, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes, and Luton Airport 62 miles, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes; Luton works from one terminal and handled 17.77 million passengers in 2025. The right one depends on your airline and route.
Book with your flight number. Whatever the landing time, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur. For a departure from Bexley, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: for Southend, Stansted and Luton the route crosses the Thames at Dartford, and the crossing adds time whenever traffic on it is heavy. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Long-Distance & Day-Trip Travel from Bexley
Bexley sits where the A2 leaves London for Kent. Canterbury is 47 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, and Whitstable, on the coast just north of it, 46 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. A day can take in both.
North of the river, Chelmsford, the county town of Essex, is 32 miles, 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, by way of the Dartford Crossing. For a ferry or a cruise from the south coast, Portsmouth is 97 miles, 2 hours to 2 hours 35 minutes.
Seeing Canterbury and Whitstable on the same outing? Reserve by the hour, and your chauffeur drives you all day and back to Bexley. For Portsmouth, a one-way journey takes you to the port, and the return is booked separately.
Groups & Congress Travel in Bexley
The capital's largest exhibition centre, ExCeL, is about 11 miles from Bexley, 30–40 minutes by car. Two of its big shows in 2027 are the London Book Fair, 16–18 March, and the DSEI defence exhibition, 7–10 September. An exhibitor team staying in Bexley or Dartford can be driven to the halls each morning.
When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If colleagues land on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own. For a team moving together, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats; list sample cases and stand material so the vehicle is matched to the load.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early in the weeks of the big ExCeL shows. If your plans go beyond a standard booking, write to support with the dates, addresses, number of passengers, flights and luggage, and the team will arrange it.
