Chelmsford!

So what does it do now to justify it's existance?

Mainly a dormitory, but plenty of financial industry offices that have
moved out of London.

So not a lot going for it :-)

I grew up there, and to my eyes it has been vastly "over-developed" with
fill-in housing, medium sized office blocks, and bits of shopping mall
tacked onto what was once quite a traditional High Street. They've even
built flats on the old bus station (next to the train^H^H railway
station).
