Hi all! So just getting into the whole urbex scene fairly recently and as a film fanatic would love to see some abandoned theatres/cinemas. Does anybody know of any in/around the London/Essex/Brighton area, as my group and I don't really have the time or facilities to travel too far. Thanks!!

I'm 17 from Essex, I have explored a few abandoned places before (like H.M.S Ganges by Harwich docks) but mostly prefer rooftopping and climbing high stuff. I have rooftopped chelmsford, ipswich, colchester and London - a few major tall buildings but mostly were all lesser structures. I have...

This place has always been an interest to me because of the amount of history and urban legends floating around. The Church gates are open during the day but locked over night as it is a popular place to go to try and get spooked and explore (I too did this as a kid). The church gates also...

Tried this place at night a few weeks ago but didn’t have the nerve to go in but felt like we had to go back. Went back during the day and I’m so glad we did! Such an interesting place to explore, most of the building is well lit but some other parts like the cells were in complete darkness...
