Southend-on-Sea, Coastal borough in Essex, England
Southend-on-Sea stretches along the north side of the Thames Estuary, encompassing multiple districts including Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff, and Thorpe Bay.
The settlement evolved from a collection of fishermen's huts in 1309 to become a major seaside resort following the construction of railway connections in 1850.
The Beecroft Art Gallery and Cliffs Pavilion present regular exhibitions and performances, contributing to the local arts scene throughout the calendar year.
London Southend Airport connects the region to European destinations, while two main railway stations provide direct access to central London.
The Southend Pier extends 2.16 kilometers into the Thames Estuary, making it the longest pleasure pier currently standing in the world.
