Canvey Island
Formerly known as Canvey On Sea, historically Canvey Island made its name as a popular family holiday location back in the 60s and 70s and was born from Dutch refugee’s seeking refuge in the town in the 17th Century as they developed the famous “Dutch Cottage” estate. Canvey Island was primarily an agricultural town in the 20th century until becoming the fastest developing seaside town between 1911 and 1951 and now boasts amazing value in terms of its housing market, a stunning beachfront with seafront walkways and wildlife and allows for direct access into London Fenchurch Street/Liverpool Street via Benfleet C2C Railway Station which shares a border with Canvey Island and Benfleet. Canvey Island’s amenities are currently being massively developed with the arrival of the all-new Canvey Island Retail Park becoming home to a multitude of megastores.
