The Bland Street Lynx station is right in the heart of Southend. There are bars on one side and apartments on the other.
It's probably one of the safest Lynx stations due to the amount of activity around it. Lots of joggers, walkers, etc. Like other Lynx stations it features seating and ticket machines.
The best thing about this station is one of of my new favorite restaurants is right here...Futo Buta. Ramen anyone?
