I’m planning a day trip to the seaside by train from London. Which is better, Brighton or Southend? Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

100% Brighton (sorry Southend)

If you're taking kids then I'd say Southend. Plenty to do; arcades, Sealife Adventure, Adventure Island, there's a little lagoon area to swim in, the pier train.

Southend is grim.

No kids, so Brighton it is. Thank you @Borborygmus @NeverEnoughSleepNeverEnoughCoffee @VanellopeVonSchweetz99

Brighton for me, it has a great alternative vibe 🌈.
