Chelmsford

The County Town of Essex, with City status since 2021 and firmly within the London commuter belt, being approximately 30 miles from the centre of London.

With its mainline station situated on the London Liverpool Street to Norwich line, it therefore provides easy access, with a journey time into Liverpool Street of approximately 35 minutes. Chelmsford station is reputed to be the busiest South East station outside of the main London zone in terms of passenger movements per day.

Whilst a very popular commuter town due to its size and amenities, it also has strong commercial occupier and business connections.

Historically Chelmsford is known as the location for the first sound broadcast in the United Kingdom when Guglielmo Marconi tested his invention from his factory in New Street. The ‘Marconi’ company and its various iterations continued in the town, generally within the defence sector, and the company, Teledyne e2V, is still located at Chelmsford to this day.

The retail High Street heart of the city is home to three medium-sized shopping centres, High Chelmer, The Meadows and the most recently opened ‘Bond Street’, which is home to the John Lewis flagship store.

Surrounding the core town centre, and most specifically within walking distance of the mainline station, there are numerous office buildings, many of which are home to back-room operations for City of London based companies.

The key industrial/warehouse locations of Chelmsford are effectively split to the north and south of the town; Dukes Park and Boreham Interchange to the north, Widford and Westway areas to the south.

Commercial occupiers benefit from the City’s close proximity to the A12, which connects southwards to the M25 at Junction 28 and northwards with Ipswich and the Ports of Felixstowe and Harwich. Further connections via the A414 and the A120 give access to both the M11 and London Stansted Airport.

The City however lacks any meaningful employment land allocation, and thus new Industrial/warehouse opportunities are hard to find and focused on pre let opportunities.
