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!!

Hello. I'm a new member in the East London / Essx area. I'm interested in exploring a wide range of buildings such as schools, hotels, cinemas and hospitals, as well as underground tunnels, bunkers, . I've done a few sites across the country and in Europe including the Fisons factory, Wheal...

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...

Have known about this place for a while but where it's pretty much on my door step have always just thought "I'll go there another time". An artical came out recently about this location so I thought I should go asap to avoid the tour busses and I'm glad I did. When we arrived there was a group...

The asylum is now part demolished and renovated. There is a photo included of the renovated building, apologies for the bad quality and lighting. The same fate is to happen to the chapel so I'm glad I got to see it pre renovation and get a sense of the history. History: "The foundation stone...

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...

“A historic bowling alley in Essex has closed down unexpectedly. The Kursaal, on Southend seafront, is run by MFA Bowl and appears to have shut down for good after a sign was placed in its doorway saying they were 'closed for business'. The sign reads: "This site is now closed for business...

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...

Epping Forest College vacated this site in 2011, presumably to move into the huge college that now currently stands round the corner. I wasn’t able to find much information on why else, however since their departure these old buildings have clearly seen their fair share of arson and forced entry...

Have wanted to explore abandoned places for such a long time and finally decided to give it a go. This seemed to be a perfect place to start & was a great first experience. We learnt that the place has been closed since 2015 and are awaiting planning permission to re-open. Councillors found...
