About

Westborough is a residential district situated inland from Southend's seafront, centred around the main arterial road of London Road. This area primarily consists of housing from the interwar and post-war periods, with many semi-detached and terraced homes lining its streets. The local shopping parade provides essential amenities, serving the everyday needs of the community with a mix of independent retailers and national chain stores.

The area is characterised by its network of quiet, suburban streets and several green spaces, including Westborough Park. It functions as a practical residential zone for the town, with good transport links via the A127 and local bus routes. The district is notably home to the historic Southchurch Hall, a medieval moated manor house and museum located within its boundaries, offering a quiet contrast to the surrounding modern housing.
