West Thurrock and South Stifford

West Thurrock is dominated by Lakeside and the retail parks around it, plus a lot of industrial and logistics land along the river. The residential parts are squeezed between the commercial zones. South Stifford has some older housing and a village green that hints at what was here before the A13 and Lakeside swallowed the landscape. It is not a place with much character left, but if you work at one of the distribution centres or retail parks, the commute is literally minutes. The Dartford Crossing is close, which is useful or maddening depending on the time of day.
