On the train it is Southampton Central to London Waterloo, across the capital to Liverpool Street, then a Greater Anglia service to the airport’s own station at the terminal, so two changes plus a cross-London transfer with luggage, around three and a half hours door to door, at £45-70pp at peak times.
By coach: National Express, routed via London Victoria. Five hours or more with a change in London, £30-45pp.
Door-to-door in 3 Hours, 44 Minutes, no changes, no luggage hassle, 24/7, fixed from £244.

Common questions about Southampton to Southend taxis. More on our FAQ page.
Your fare is fixed and shown in the price panel above, starting with the saloon and rising by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so whatever the traffic on the M25 or the queue at Dartford that day, the amount you see when you book is the amount you pay.
Plan around the drive time shown above. Nearly all of the route is motorway and dual carriageway along the M27, M3, M25 and A127, so outside the peak hours the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the orbital and the Dartford Crossing.
The standard run is the M27 to the M3, north to the M25, then anticlockwise round to the Dartford Crossing and over the Thames into Essex, before the A127 carries you east to Rochford. Southampton sits south of the river, so this Thames crossing is unavoidable; an experienced driver watches the tunnel queues and Rayleigh Weir and can switch to the A13 when it helps.
Yes. We collect from every Southampton district including Portswood, Bitterne, Woolston and Shirley, as well as the wider SO postcodes such as Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Hedge End, Totton and Romsey, all on the same fixed-fare basis across to Southend.
