A Mercedes-Benz and a single chauffeur, serving Chigwell, Chigwell Row and Grange Hill. London City is half an hour away, Stansted a little over forty minutes — and the M11 is on your doorstep.
— No. 01 · Chauffeur Service in Chigwell
Chigwell sits on the London side of Essex, in the Epping Forest district, with the Central line at one end and open forest at the other. It is well placed for almost everywhere: the M11 runs north to Stansted and Cambridge, the A406 west to Heathrow, and London City Airport is barely half an hour away across the river.
Travel in Style Essex provides a private chauffeur service to Chigwell households and businesses — airport transfers, executive travel, weddings, evenings in town, and the ordinary journeys that are simply more pleasant conducted properly. Every journey is driven by Jamie Gifford personally.
For Chigwell, airport work is the majority of it. Stansted is around forty-five minutes up the M11, London City about thirty across the Blackwall or Silvertown crossing, and Heathrow roughly an hour depending on the North Circular. Each is quoted as a fixed fare from your address, with flight tracking and meet-and-greet included as standard.
The fleet is three Mercedes-Benz: the V-Class for seven passengers and full luggage, the S-Class for executive travel and occasions, and the E-Class for the quieter airport run. All three are maintained personally and presented to one standard.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class · Travel in Style Essex
Stansted in around forty-five minutes and Cambridge beyond it. Chigwell is one of the better-connected addresses in the county for northbound airport work.
LCY is closer to Chigwell than most of London is. For a short-haul business departure it is comfortably the most civilised option.
The West End, the O2 and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are all within easy reach, with a fixed fare and a car waiting when you come out.
No driver pool and no subcontracting. Jamie conducts every Chigwell journey himself, in a vehicle he prepares himself.

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.

— No. 05 · From Those Who Have Travelled With Us
"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."

"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."

— Southend Airport · 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."
