Within walking distance of the High Street at the top end (away from the seafront), there are a few other notable shopping outlets:

• Odeon 8-screen cinema
• Sainsburys Supermarket
• Currys
• Homebase

Also, coming soon - a branch of the cheeky US restaurant chain - Hooters. More on Hooters Southend

When mentioning shopping in Southend, it's also important to mention the Victoria Lanes market (off the southern end of the High Street behind Marks and Spencer)
