London City Airport is the closest of all major airports to Essex — and the preferred choice for business travellers. A composed transfer from your address to the Royal Docks, with no unnecessary detour.
— No. 01 · London City Airport Transfer
London City Airport sits in the Royal Docks — closer to Essex than any other major airport, and significantly closer to Canary Wharf and the City of London than its larger competitors. For business travellers departing for a day in Dublin, a meeting in Amsterdam, or a two-night engagement in Frankfurt, the transfer from Essex to LCY is frequently our quickest.
Travel in Style Essex provides private chauffeur transfers from Essex to London City Airport, conducted with the standards business travel demands: punctuality, composure, and a complete absence of the minor frictions that characterise less considered arrangements.
LCY's compact terminal is a genuine advantage — check-in times are among the fastest in the UK, and the arrivals process is proportionally swift. The meet-and-greet here is genuinely personal: the terminal is small enough that the encounter is face-to-face, not logistical.
For executive transfers, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the natural choice — a flagship saloon with a composed rear cabin, suited to the business traveller who requires quiet, privacy, and a sense that the journey has been considered. The V-Class is available for larger parties or those travelling with substantial equipment.

— No. 03 · How a Journey Unfolds
Your booking is confirmed in writing within the hour. We note your flight number, terminal, passenger count, and any particular requirements — luggage, accessibility, or a preference for a quieter cabin.
From the moment of confirmation, your flight is placed under continuous monitoring. Delays, gate changes, and early arrivals are absorbed without conversation — the schedule adjusts quietly.
The vehicle is cleaned, fuelled, and prepared personally. Refreshments are arranged. A confirmation message is sent when your chauffeur is en route.
For outbound journeys, the car arrives at your address ahead of schedule. Luggage is loaded. Your route has been planned — alternatives identified. There is nothing left to arrange.
For inbound journeys, your chauffeur is present in the arrivals hall from the moment your flight lands — name board in hand. Waiting time for delayed flights is included at no charge.

"I booked as a 60th birthday treat for my husband — Thailand for Christmas and his birthday. I wanted him to arrive in style, and that is exactly what happened. Jamie loaded our bags, gave us a tour of all the facilities, and a gorgeous bottle of bubbly was on ice waiting for us. Chatty but not intrusive. Polite and funny. Very professional."
Marrianne Mason · Verified Facebook Review · January 2025
"Reliable, punctual and friendly service. We were going on a 40th birthday trip and all the little extras certainly made it even more memorable. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. First class service."

— London City · Your Chauffeur
Travel in Style Essex is not a fleet operation. There is one chauffeur: Jamie Gifford, who founded the service in 2019 and has conducted every journey personally since. When you make an enquiry, you speak to Jamie. When you are collected, it is Jamie at the door.
He holds an advanced RoSPA driving qualification, a clean PCO licence, and a DBS certificate. He drives as he attends to everything else — with composure, without hurry, and with the particular care of someone who takes pride in his work.
"The standard I hold myself to is simple: I ask whether I would be comfortable if the people I most respect could see exactly what I was doing and why. The answer is always yes."
