Chelmsford is the only city in the English county of Essex, having been afforded this status as a part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012. It has a population of around 110,000 and has a long and rich history. Its relatively close proximity to London makes it one of the most prominent settlements in the capital’s commuter belt. It is the county town of Essex with Essex County Council meeting in County Hall in the City Centre.
