A popular beach side town within an hour from London, Southend on Sea is situated in the Thames estuary in Essex on the east coast of England. It has an excellent high street with many shops including M&S and H&M, nice restaurants and bars. The highlight is a free to enter theme park with rides for both kids and adults alike. There is an indoor arcade to still entertain you in case of rainy weather. Do grab an ice cream and enjoy the vibes of the sea.

Reachable from London Fenchurch street, Stratford or Barking, there are trains every half an hour. Southend on Sea is a good day trip option if the weather holds good.
