London Southend Airport (SEN) Information

Southend Airport is an international airport in Essex, 42 miles (68 km) from the centre of London. Connection to central London is via the regular rail service running from Liverpool Street Station.

The airfield was established by the Royal Flying Corps during World War I and many sorties were flown against Zeppelin airship raiders and during World War II, it became a base for fighter squadrons. In the 1960s, Southend was London's third-busiest airport until Stansted Airports numbers grew and overtook it.

EasyJet began operating out of Southend in 2012 and Aer Lingus Regional began regular flights to Dublin in the same year resulting in a rapid growth of passenger numbers that year.

Southend Airport has an excellent weather record and is used by airlines as a diversion alternative when adverse weather or incidents close other London airports. It has also been voted the best airport in Britain for three years running by Which? between 2013 to 2015.

Southend Meet and Greet
Best meet and greet weâve ever had. Literally 3 or 4 minutes wait when we first arrived at the car park before the driver was dropped off to take our car. On our return, by the time weâd crossed the road and entered the short stay car park, our car was coming through the entrance barrier. Fantastic service from really friendly guys. Thank you so much. Would thoroughly recommend.

Why is a weeks’ parking calculated as 8 days?

Most car parks charge per day or part thereof, i.e. they count the day you enter the car park and the day you leave. That means a 7 night trip is 8 calculated as days parking and a 14 night trip will be 15 days parking.

This will depend on the car park you book, but we recommend that you arrive to drop the car off at least minutes 30 minutes prior to your earliest check-in/bag drop time.

Can I turn up at any time for my meet and greet?

The 'parking from' time on your confirmation is the time slot the car park has allocated you, so it’s important to let us know if you need to change the time, if its more than 24 hours before you are due to park. If it is less than 24 hours before your meet is due, you should call the chauffeurs using the number on your confirmation voucher.
