Scrap my car Leigh-on-Sea – about the local area

Neighbouring the better-known Southend-on-Sea, Leigh-on-Sea is a destination in its own right. It is full of character, charm and attractions, including galleries, craft shops, excellent pubs and restaurants and the famous cockle sheds.

Old Leigh is the perfect place to take a stroll along cobbled streets, taking in the picturesque town and stunning sea view. From the Middle Ages until the turn of the 20th century, Old Leigh played host to the town’s market square and high street. Due to the fact that Old Leigh was on the primary shipping route to London, by the 16th century, it had become a prosperous port. 

Leigh-on-Sea has long been cited as one of the best places to live in the UK. Outstanding grammar schools, great arts and sports facilities, proximity to London and a strong sense of community spirit and belonging were significant factors in various surveys.
