Colchester has been a bustling centre of commerce for centuries, and is the largest town in the borough. Located 50 miles from London, and only around 30 miles from London Stanstead Airport, this Essex location has become a popular commuter town. Rich in history, and with thriving local sports and culture, there's also plenty to enjoy in the local area, although the local economy can be somewhat limited in terms of job opportunities.
Roles available in Colchester are often limited to retail and hospitality, although there are of course exceptions. These can also be in limited supply, which makes the town better suited to commuters that are looking for work in London or the wider Essex area.
Given the fact that Colchester has been settled since Roman times, it's not surprising that the town has some very well preserved Roman ruins in town. The Gosbecks Archaeological Park contains the remains of a Roman theatre and temple. The town also hosts its own beer festival at the Mercury Theatre, and there is an active local arts scene as well as several live music venues.
The average salary in Colchester is around £26,000 per year, which is lower than the national average. Given the location, however, it is possible to earn higher than this by working in London and commuting. Another balancing factor is that living costs are lower in Colchester. Compared to London, for example, rent is up to at least 50% cheaper on average, with a three-course meal out at a decent restaurant for two coming in at just under £50 on average.
