About

Laindon Central is the local centre within the town of Laindon in the borough of Basildon, Essex. It sits around the high street and the railway station, where shops, takeaways and service businesses are concentrated. Laindon railway station is on the c2c London, Tilbury and Southend line, with direct trains to London Fenchurch Street and to Southend. Bus services link the area with other centres in the borough and neighbouring suburbs.

Residential streets radiate from the centre, with a mix of housing from different eras and several primary schools within short walking distance. Community facilities include a library, a health centre and a community hall; market stalls and independent retailers gather close to the station on market days. The town layout still shows fragments of older lanes that predate post-war expansion, and local regeneration efforts have focused on improving public spaces and pedestrian routes through the central shopping area. Small office units and council services sit above some shops, and a central car park serves commuters using the rail link.
