About

South Ockendon is a suburban settlement located in the Thurrock unitary authority, situated to the east of the M25 motorway. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing estates, local shopping parades, and community facilities. Its landscape includes pockets of green space, such as the South Ockendon Green, which serves as a local focal point. The area is well-connected by road, with the A13 providing a key transport link towards London and the Dartford Crossing.

The historical core of the village is centred around St. Nicholas' Church, a Grade I listed building with origins dating back to the 12th century. The surrounding geography is characterised by flat, low-lying land, with the Mardyke river flowing to the south. Residential development has expanded significantly, particularly with post-war housing. The area includes the large Ockendon Chase development, built on former green belt land, which has contributed to its continued growth as a commuter base.
