Steeped in rich history and cultural dynamism, Southend-on-Sea is a unitary authority area nestled on the northern side of the Thames Estuary. Originally a humble cluster of buildings along the High Street transformed into a bustling resort city following the regal visit of Princess Caroline of Brunswick in the 19th century.

Southend's star attraction, the longest pleasure pier in the world, is an emblem of its glorious seaside past. Though the city's popularity as a holiday retreat may have dipped due to increased international travel, the spirit of Southend remains indefatigable. The city now stands as a testament to commercial progression, featuring retail and business centres that coexist seamlessly with the original, soulful maritime charm.

When to visit Southend

The ideal time for your Southend expedition would be in the gentle warmth of early August. Temperate weather allows for endless beachside enjoyment and exploration of Southend’s many unique offerings. Looking for dry skies? Consider visiting during the months of April, September and March, frequently the driest of the year.

Keep in mind that summertime, particularly August, as well as January, can be busy with tourists, potentially resulting in heftier prices for hotels and flights. However, if budget-friendly travel is your top priority, the spring months promise a slower tourism season, offering a peaceful environment and favourable deals on your accommodation and travel needs.
