About

The Basildon Central and Pipps Hill area forms a core part of the town's commercial and retail landscape. The district centres around the Eastgate Shopping Centre and the adjoining town square, providing a concentration of major chain stores and service outlets. To the north, the Pipps Hill Retail Park offers a more expansive format for larger home and DIY stores, creating a significant retail hub.
