Chelmsford is 26 miles from Colchester, approximately a 35-minute drive, and 40 miles from London, just over an hour by car. It takes half an hour to get to central London by train, with services operating via the Great Eastern Main Line. Chelmsford bus station is on Duke Street, and First Essex is the primary service provider. Where the A138 meets the A414, southwest of the city centre, is the Army and Navy roundabout, which is notorious for congestion.
