About

Victoria ward encompasses the central coastline of Southend-on-Sea, stretching from the pier entrance eastward past the Sea Life Adventure aquarium. The area is dominated by the long, sloping beach and the adjacent Marine Parade, a major thoroughfare lined with accommodation and eateries. The focal point is the Southend Pier, the world's longest pleasure pier, with its railway and cultural pavilion at the shore end.

Inland, the ward includes the high street shopping area around the Victoria Circus roundabout and the central bus station. The cliffs gardens provide green space with views over the estuary. The Kursaal, a former amusement park and stadium site, stands as a notable historic building, though its functions have changed over time. This is a densely built area combining retail, leisure, and residential uses.
