Southend-on-Sea afternoon + dinner at my namesake restaurant in London | UK train travel vlog

I went for a little golden hour walk around Southend-on-Sea, and then had dinner at Cafe Cecilia (great name!) in London with my sister.

I live in Zurich and most of my train travel is around there, and I'm trying to visit all 1720 Swiss public transport train stations... wish me luck!
However, this is Episode 3 of my 'UK Train Travel' series. I don't have a specific goal for how many stations to visit, but I'm trying to see more of the UK, so I'm keeping count.

Train stations newly visited today:
Southend Central
(I'm counting a train station as visited if I've spent 15min in the area, or walked/cycled from it to another train station or vice versa.)

Note about my All Swiss Stations project: For the number of Swiss stations which form part of the public transport system, I have linked the relevant source on my website, but since that data changes, the total I'm working towards may also change. Sorry about the inconsistencies across videos as a result!
