Regeneration is reaching into Essex where, despite its Thames Estuary industrial legacy, 70 per cent of the county is countryside, with many historic and pretty villages and some of the country’s best schools.

Southend-on-Sea, known for its pleasure pier — the longest in Europe — is the biggest town in Essex and a regional business centre, being revitalised by expanding Southend airport. The train commute to Fenchurch Street takes an hour.
