• Tilbury Town → London Fenchurch Street: ~40 minutes
• A13 to Lakeside/Thurrock: ~10 minutes from Basildon
• A13 to East London/Barking: ~25 minutes

The Area

Essex covers a huge range — from the Thames riverside industrial corridor in the west through Basildon and Chelmsford to the coast at Southend. Our properties sit in the busiest part of the county for contractor and corporate stays — the A13/Thames Gateway corridor where construction, logistics, and port activity generate consistent accommodation demand year round.
