About

Tilbury sits on the north bank of the River Thames within the borough of Thurrock. The area is historically defined by its deep-water port, one of the major commercial docks for London. This industrial function shapes much of the local landscape and economy, with extensive container terminals and logistics parks. The Thames itself remains a constant presence, influencing both the area's development and daily life.

A key local landmark is Tilbury Fort, a well-preserved artillery fort from the 16th century that guards the river approach. The area includes residential neighbourhoods alongside the port infrastructure, with local facilities centred on the Civic Square. Tilbury's riverside location also supports a passenger ferry service providing a direct link across to Gravesend in Kent.
