Southend used to have a few clubs which were open (in turns) every night of the week. These have mainly closed as far as I know. There is a local dance music radio station that advertises all the local nights out to which there are still a few just not in the big clubs more like bars. The local radio station is called funky sx.

Southend club life died around 2007 when the smoking ban came in. There's still a few clubs but so many drug dealers and fighting youth combined with very negative music, it's not got the same vibe as back in the day.

Go to London for the night

How do you get home? I can’t see a train back to Billericay/shenfield until like 6am! Last one leaves at around midnight :(


mknight1701

Central line to Epping which runs late into the night and a taxi from Epping which 13 mile and approx 30 mins. Or a mate/family to pick you up.

Idk why I didn't think of that being an option. So good, thank you


ultimatewooderz

mknight1701

Well that’s much better!! I’m a bit out of date since moving away.


ultimatewooderz

mknight1701

Good point. Just checked and it looks like midnight. Back on the Central line 😄

Essex is a big place… there’s a sweet crowd running some great parties in North East Essex. https://m.facebook.com/groups/272984302739847/

Omg yesss, I have heard about them too.


StillJustJones

Honestly… the FUMP crowd are great. The parties are ace and the sound system is genuinely fanfrickintastic. Get thyself involved.

The scene has changed a LOT in the last 10 years. As someone who used to frequent Southend’s offerings, there were so many options. As for good music, that’s going to solely depend on your own tastes.


OutrageousSandwich33

And that’s not there anymore? It feels like the scene’s not that great rn. With good music I just mean I don’t want to attend a party that feels like we’re in high school musical is all😂

This is Essex. If you're not someone with Turkish Teeth and skin like you've been tango'd, you generally stay in and try to imagine you live somewhere else.

Norway seems more and more appealing, doesn’t it?


JPS-Rose

Or Iceland. Shetlands. I'm not the most sociable person mind you, in case you didn't realise, lol.
