Quality of Life
An environment for living
The quality of life in Essex is superb.
The close proximity of central London, less than 16 km from West Essex, means you can enjoy the benefits of being close to a world-famous capital city while living and working in such an attractive county.
Essex has a coastline more than 560 km long with busy resorts at Southend, Clacton, Frinton, Walton and Dovercourt as well as quieter riverside towns such as Mistley, Mersea, Burnham and Maldon.
Major redevelopment in the county’s resorts is leading to a coastal renaissance. That makes it great for sailing, windsurfing, cruising and other water sports along the coast or on the county’s many rivers and inland waterways.
