About

West Thurrock and South Stifford is a ward dominated by industrial and logistical infrastructure. The area is defined by the expansive complex of the Lakeside Shopping Centre and its surrounding retail parks, which create a major commercial hub. The landscape is heavily shaped by the presence of the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the M25 motorway, which carve through the Thames-side terrain. Large-scale distribution warehouses and business parks occupy much of the available land, framing the view along the riverfront.

The residential communities are more contained, primarily situated in the South Stifford village area, which offers a contrast with its older housing and local church. A significant feature is the presence of the giant Purfleet Deep Water Terminal, handling bulk materials along the Thames. The area's geography is also marked by former chalk quarries, some of which have been repurposed, adding a distinct topographic character to the otherwise developed expanse.
