CESC is located in Colchester, Essex, roughly 45 minutes from the centre of London by train (to Liverpool Street Station).

Cambridge is only about 1 hour and 20 minutes by car or train from Colchester, and the sea, at the seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea, is only 20 minutes away.

Conveniently for students who want to travel around Europe or around the U.K., London Stansted Airport is very near Colchester. From Stansted, there are very cheap flights run by web-based airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. Stansted Airport is only 50 minutes by bus from Colchester.
