For those not from the area, Southend-on-Sea is three stops away on the train from the venue. There are many activities to do there including mini-golf (a favourite past time of ours), arcade games, an amusement park and many pubs!!
Matt and I live in Romford. If you are coming from out of town or out of country and are staying in or around Romford, we are a 30-40 minute train ride into the city!
