Don't believe the lies
Just a reminder why we are here.
We want to provide a personal, helpful, advert free guide to the very basics of London, what to expect, how to get around, things to avoid.
We’d love your feedback.
It’s February 29th. Happy Leap Day. If you are in London, do enjoy the very cold rain.
For the sake of completeness, and because it calls itself a London airport, we include Southend. It’s about 50 minutes from London
It is a very small airport, with a few flights to Amsterdam and Alicante on easyJet.
There is a rail station just nearby.
Southend is on the coast, well, the Thames estuary. It’s a city most famous for its extremely long pier. There are many different methods to get to central London.
If you want to see a typical UK seaside city, Southend may be the place for a day trip.
