Now over to our tour guide to show you around: Southend-on-Sea is the second largest town in Essex. It developed into a seaside town in Georgian times attracting people with its seven miles of beaches. Even though with the arrival of cheap flights overseas holidays became popular, Southend has retained its share of tourists – 6.4 million a year.
One of its attractions and its claim to fame is its pier, the longest leisure pier in the world at 1.34 miles long. The pier which runs into the Thames Estuary is Grade II listed. You can catch a train on the Pier Railway that runs the length of it if you can make the walk! There is also a Cliff Railway which can transport you down from the top of the cliff to the Promenade. Sorry no stairlift here!

Remember though if you are unfortunate enough to need a bit of help up lots of stairs, like that, then no problem, Castle Comfort Stairlifts are on hand to help! We might not be able to get you up and down that cliff but we can make sure that you have access to your entire home! If you'd like some advice please call Castle Comfort's Stairlifts on 01376 396015.
Southend-on-Sea has all the usual seaside entertainments from an
amusement park with over 50 rides, bowling alley, an arcade, a casino,
a sea life aquarium and cliff top gardens which originally housed a
Victorian Bandstand. Unfortunately due to cliff erosion the bandstand
has been demolished; the local council hope to 'rehouse' it somewhere
else in the town.
Other reasons Southend has maintained its popularity is its proximity
to London – just 40 miles away – and good transport links including
London Southend Airport with flights to Galway and Waterford in Ireland (twice a day) where our Ireland Office install stairlifts and Jersey every week during the summer.
Annual attractions
There are various other annual attractions which bring visitors too: from the London to Southend Classic Car run to the Southend Shakedown another annual event for motorbikes and scooters and of course, the Great London Rideout which brings scooters to Southend every year.
From an airshow – one of Europe's largest - the Festival of the Air which takes place every May and features military jets, aerobatics over the sea, parachute displays from RAF Falcons and the Red Arrows to Southend Carnival and Illuminations.
Fairly new on the annual scene is the Southend Film Festival which has Ray Winstone as its patron.
