About
Mecca Southend is one of the most modern bingo halls in the country. It recently underwent a £1.5 million refurbishment, which included updating the bar, diner, toilets, and an upgrade to its outside social area.
The purpose-built venue has over 900 seats, 140 electronic bingo terminals, two bars, and a café that brings food straight to the table when it is ready. The outdoor area also includes tables, seating, and an optional overhead cover, which is handy if you fancy a drink in the fresh air between sessions.
This seaside club is well located and has good public transport links. Bus services stop close by, and the train station is within walking distance, while drivers can also use the large customer car park on site.

FAQ
Here are some good options for getting to the club:
- Rail: Southend Victoria and Southend Central are both usable options, depending on where you are coming from, and you can walk or take a short taxi from either station.
- Bus: Use the stop name Stadium Way (Sutton Road) in journey planners. If you need step-free access, stick to the pavement rather than cutting down the steps by the entrance. It’s also worth checking live times before you leave, as services can run differently later in the evening.
