Britain's Amusements and Video Game Arcades - Southend
Been to any good amusement arcades lately? No, us neither. We want to find good video game arcades in the UK, but Southend arcades just weren't cutting it. British holidays used to be dominated by shiny seaside amusement arcades, bristling with the latest arcade games.
We're on a quest to find good old-fashioned amusement arcades; this episode we check out Southend-on-Sea in Essex and honestly the Southend arcades weren't great.

Southend-on-Sea, commonly referred to as simply Southend, is a town and wider unitary authority area with borough status in southeastern Essex, England. Southend on Sea lies on the north side of the Thames Estuary, 40 miles east of central London.
Southend on Sea is bordered to the north by Rochford and to the west by Castle Point. Southend on Sea is home to the longest leisure pier in the world, Southend Pier. London Southend Airport is located 1.5 NM (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) north of the town centre.
Southend-on-Sea originally consisted of a few poor fisherman huts and farms at the southern end of the village of Prittlewell. In the 1790s the first buildings around what was to become the High Street of Southend were completed. In the 19th century Southend's status of a seaside resort grew after a visit from Princess Caroline of Brunswick, and Southend Pier was constructed. From the 1960s onwards the town declined as a holiday destination. Southend was reinvented as the home of the Access credit card, due to it having one of the UK's first electronic telephone exchanges. After the 1960s much of the town centre was developed for commerce and retail, and many original structures were lost to redevelopment. An annual seafront airshow, started in 1986 when it featured a flypast by Concorde on a passenger charter flight, used to take place each May and became one of Europe's largest free airshows.
Southend is served by two National Rail lines. Running from Southend Victoria north out of the town is the Liverpool Street line, a branch of the Great Eastern Main Line operated by Abellio Greater Anglia. The services operate to London Liverpool Street via Prittlewell. London Southend Airport was developed from the military airfield at Rochford, opened as a civil airport in 1935, and now offers scheduled flights to destinations across Europe. Local public transport is provided by two main bus companies, Arriva Southend (formerly the council-owned Southend Corporation Transport) and First Essex Buses (formerly NBC/Eastern National/Thamesway). Minor companies include Stephensons of Essex, and Regal Busways.

The state of todays arcade scene in the UK
Went down to Southend-On-Sea yesterday and thought I would share my experience in the current arcade scene in the UK.
This is a crap film, crap quality, crap arcades and crap of crapness for good measure. The only good thing was the weather which actually made the day feel like a proper Summer!

Astro City Intro and DDR/EZ2Dancer Meetup - Lucky Hit Arcade Perfect
There's a new arcade in Southend, Essex called Astro City! We have a look around and talk about some of the games there as well as a Dance Dance Revolution event that was held a couple weeks ago, where pros from around the country flocked down to check out the rather special machine for it available here. We will be covering more of this arcade in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

Southend Arcade Vlog
Had fun at Southend in the arcades, glad to know they are still around and are not a relic of the past.
