About

West Thurrock sits on the north bank of the River Thames within the borough of Thurrock. The area combines riverside industry and large-scale retail and distribution, with a major shopping complex that takes its name from the man-made lake beside it. Road links are strong: the M25 and A13 meet nearby and buses connect West Thurrock to Grays and other towns in the borough. Along the river there are wharves and freight terminals that handle bulk goods, and patches of reclaimed marshland sit between industrial sites and housing.

The settlement grew around dockside activity and heavy industry, including cement works and power generation, remnants of which shaped local roads and plots. Recent decades have seen new developments on former industrial land and continued use of the river for freight. Local maps show the lakes and channels that give parts of West Thurrock their pattern of roads and paths, while the riverside location means tides and shipping remain part of daily life for businesses and residents.
