About

Canvey Island's North West area sits within the wider Castle Point district, characterised by its low-lying residential neighbourhoods and proximity to the Thames estuary. The terrain is notably flat, with a network of drainage ditches and sea walls defining the landscape, a direct response to the area's history with flooding. Housing consists largely of post-war estates and interwar semidetached homes, with local commerce focused along Furtherwick Road.

A significant feature is the large, modern Tesco superstore complex, which acts as a major retail hub for the island. The area is bounded by the industrial zones of the Thames estuary to the north and west, with views across the water to the refineries of Thurrock. Canvey Point, at the very western tip, offers open green space and a stark, windswept outlook over the mudflats and shipping lanes.
