London things to do

Things to do in London if you have a London Southend Airport Layover or Extended London Southend Airport Stopover


If you have an extended layover at the London Southend Airport or staying in town, why not consider getting out with some fun activities? We list a few here and there are many more on London.LayoverIdeas.com.


Open tours in a new tab? (Good for comparing tour options)


With London so close, diversions are a short train-ride away. If you are looking for some ways to pass the time without heading into the big city, we offer the following as possibilities.


Why not visit nearby Southend-on-Sea?


Just 2 miles away you can:

  • Stroll a bit of the seven glorious miles of Southend-on-Sea's seafront
  • Walk out on the longest pleasure pier in the world
  • Get a dose of cultre at the Central Museum, Southchurch Hall, the Pier Museum, the Beecroft Art Gallery or the Focal Point Gallery (in the library)
  • Try windsurfing, powerboating, jetskiing or canoeing at the Southend Marine Activities Centre
  • Visit Adventure Island with over 60 rides and attractions
  • Check out the British Diving team in training at the brand new Southend Swimming and Diving Centre



Closer to the Airport:


Some busy pubs and retail warehouses front the road between the air terminal and the town centre.


A preserved Avro Vulcan can be seen from the same road. Click here to read Black Buck Pilot visits the Southend Vulcan (2007).


Note that there is no longer a museum at this airport which once reverberated to flying car ferries such as the piston-engined Bristol Freighter.



As always, make sure you leave plenty of time to get back to SEN London Southend Airport and clear security in time for your connecting flight. Enjoy your transit city rather than whiling away the time leaning up against your luggage in the departures lounge.
