How to get there

 

By Train...

Trains run to Southend from London - Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street, on the c2c and NXEA lines. These will take you to Southend Central or Victoria.

From Southend Victoria... Exit the station through the gate next to the cafe. Turn left, and go up the stairs and over the bridge. Head down and out of the shopping centre, and you should find yourself firmly in the High Street.

At this point you'll be able to see the Odeon and HSBC on your right, and Barclays on your left, and WH Smiths straight in front of you. Walk down the High Street, where you'll pass the likes of Burger King, McDonalds etc. Keep walking down, you'll go under a railway bridge --

 

And this is where Southend Central comes in to play.

From Southend Central, exit the station on the side the train comes in, that should be the one with the big college building. Said college will be on your left, and ahead of you you'll see O'Neill's pub. Head across the car park towards the pub, and on your right you'll find a path leading to the High Street. Once on the High Street, turn right and head under the bridge...

 

-- And carry on down the High Street. You'll pass more food outlets like KFC, and another McDonalds, and then you'll see the Royals Shopping Centre. You're getting near now. Once you're at the bottom of the High Street you'll be able to see the park.

Head down to the seafront. There are stairs and a lift.

Now, you should be on the seafront unless something's gone wrong, and the park entrance will be straight in front of you.

If in doubt, ask a local the way to the seafront.

 

By Bus...

Buses in Southend go to the 'Travel Centre' which is opposite the Royals Shopping Centre. From there, head towards the Royals and turn right, passing Tesco and Utopia Cafe, and you'll arrive in the High Street. Turn left and head towards the seafront - you'll be able to see the park. Take the lift or stairs to the esplanade and the park entrance will be in front of you.

 

By Car...

From the M25, take either the A13 or the A127, which both run to central Southend. Adventure Island is signposted on brown signs. Finding parking spaces can be difficult at peak times but car parks are signposted throughout the town.
