Essex is an extremely-popular choice amongst event organisers, due to its proximity to London, and excellent rail network and local bus routes. It’s also well served by major roads such as the M11, M25 and A12, and is easily-reachable by air via Stansted and Southend Airport, or via sea at Harwich International Port and Tilbury. If you’re looking for meeting rooms and conference venues, the Hilton London Stansted Airport Hotel, and the Ceme Conference Centre in Rainham offer excellent value for money, and can cater for as many as 250 delegates. Alternatively, you’ll find plenty of great party venues and function rooms at locations like The City Pavilion in Romford, which houses two restaurants, seven private rooms, five bars and a bowling alley, or the stunning Parklands estate in Quendon, which has a capacity of 600.
