The Last Post, Southend-on-Sea

Southend is well known for its bustling nightlife, with plenty of clubs to choose from and options for everyone. Sports bars are in abundance, with The Last Post pub, just below the hotel, showing live sports on two large projector screens and five flat-screen televisions.

Whatever your reason for a trip away, we have it covered. Southend is home to the world’s longest pleasure pier. You can take the train to the end or a leisurely stroll.

You will find an Odeon cinema at the north end of High Street, along with a few popular restaurants.

The eastern esplanade is full of arcades and fish-and-chip shops, plus don’t forget to buy a stick of Southend rock for your journey home.

Southend’s Adventure Island is rated the UK’s number-one free-admission theme park, while Sea Life Adventure houses its own nursery and holds regular events for children.

There is a mini golf drive on Eastern Esplanade, as well as Southend Marine Activity Centre, which is a great day out for kids and adults alike.

Southend Central train station is directly opposite the hotel, while Southend Victoria is a five-minute walk away.

London Southend Airport is a 15-minute drive, while Stansted is an hour’s drive. You can be in the centre of London within the hour, when travelling to London Fenchurch Street.

Buses travel regularly to towns all over Essex, and there is also a coach which runs from London Stansted Airport.

If travelling to or from London Southend Airport, buses 7, 8 and 9 will take you there from Southend bus station – just around the corner from our building.

If you require a taxi, please ask a hotel or bar team member who will be more than happy to arrange a pick-up for you.

The Last Post does not have its own car park, but we do offer a discount to hotel guests using the NCP car park just next to Southend Central train station, directly opposite us, when using our Clifftown Road entrance.

The hotel itself has a reception area hidden away from the business of the pub – in order to gain access initially, you will need to page a receptionist, using the phone on the bar. Any member of staff is able to assist you with this, if required.

If travelling by car, the postcode for our preferred car park is SS1 1AJ. If you would like the discount code for this, please call or e-mail us beforehand.

Southend Central train station is directly opposite us – just make sure that you exit onto the London-bound side of the station, by the ticket office.

Southend Victoria is just past the northern end of High Street – if you make your way to the Odeon cinema and walk down High Street, until you reach Lloyds Bank on your right, turn down this street and we are located on the right.
