Whitechapel-on-sea

by sourbugger - last update: Jan 17, 2005

Where Eastenders go for day trips

Southend on sea is the classic day-trip seaside resort.

Due to this fact (Note it's nickname of Whitechapel on sea) it has relatively few hotels and guest houses compared other seaside resorts in easy reach of London such as Brighton.

Southend thus has few pretensions -and is about good 'ole working class fun - amusement arcardes, candyfloss, beer and chasing tarts - what could be better?

Southend is also a large town in it's own right, and is in fact the largest urban area in East Anglia.

Cons:"Idiots in souped up Escorts (the car that is)"

 Very catchy name for this little seaside town. Interesting page.

 Very funny! And also quite useful too, to your usual standard :-)

 This takes me back - I had my first summer-job in a Southend greasy spoon - Las Vegas Grill! you seem to have captured all the finer points of Southend!

 Theme park, gambling, funicular, beach … really tempting. I’d go see that artistic show just for fun with some good friends.
