Neighbourhood

within a 15 minute walk, you can reach Old Leigh, which offers a variety of pubs and eateries over overlooking the sea, plus a small beach with access to paddle or swim. Leigh-on-Sea also has a bustling high street (The Broadway) which is also a 15 minute walk and boasts lots of independent coffee shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants. Further along the coast (10 minutes by car or train or around an hour walking), you will find Southend-On-Sea which is a traditional UK seaside resort, with beaches, a fun fair, sea life center, arcades, amusements, fish and chip, ice creams and candyfloss. Southend also has the Europes longest pier (1.2 miles) which you can walk or catch a train to the end - where you will find a cafe serving food and drinks.

Getting to my home

From all London airports, you can take a train into central London and then the train out of London to my house. Local train station is 12 minutes walk from my house. There is also a taxi rank at the train station. Southend airport is very close so a taxi or bus is the best option.

Nearest airport

London Southend Airport - 4.7 miles London Stansted Airport - 35 miles London Luton Airport - 64 miles London Gatwick Airport - 77 miles London Heathrow Airport - 74 miles

Getting around

Shops, restaurants, bars, beach, train station are all walkable from the house (10-15 mins).

In summer and school holidays, there is an open top bus that runs through the high street and along the coast to Southend (my young daughter loves this)! You can also walk to Southend along the coast in around 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Lucy

We are a family of 3 located in the UK. New to home exchanging but have previous experience of hosting holiday rentals via other platforms and I held Super Host status on airbnb for several years. We love to travel and are open on where we go but are tied to the UK school holidays. While we are a family of 3, we often bring along a set of grandparents so having an extra bedroom available would be a bonus on our trips.
