From M25 take Junction 29 and follow the A127 to Southend. Continue towards the town centre, through the lights near to the Bell Pub. At the next roundabout turn right (3rd turning), continuing on the A127.
The ground is on the right just past the next traffic lights.
If you turn right as you reach the ground, this will put you behind the away end where there is plenty of street parking to be found.
Otherwise there is a car park at the ground, behind the Main Stand which costs £5, or there is the Southend High School For Boys which also offers car parking for £5 per car (the school entrance is on Prittlewell Road). Bear in mind that in the fair weather months Aug/Sep/April/May, if the weather is at all sunny the whole of East London seems to head down the A127 on a Saturday afternoon, so allow an extra 30 mins if the temperature is above 65F.
Prittlewell station, which is served by trains from London Liverpool Street, is about a 5-minute walk from the ground.
On exiting the station, turn right and proceed as far as the light-controlled crossroads. Turn right after the 'Fish House' chip shop and turn right. The ground is on the left after about 100 yards.
Southend Central station, served by trains from London Bridge and London Fenchurch Street, is a good 25-minute walk from the ground. However, the main bus station is nearby.
