TB, Westcliff on Sea
Wednesday, November 7, 2018
Plenty of local shops, restaurants and pubs within walking distance of the house. Residents are a mix of young and old, although there aren't that many young families who live here. Lots of commuters who work in London. You find that most people head into Southend on Sea for a night out, or further afield to Basildon or Brentwood. Easy access to lots of family activities, including beaches, Adventure Island theme park, Southchurch Park and Prittlewell Priory. A few anti-social behavioural problems but nothing that would cause concern.
CH, Southend-on-sea
Tuesday, October 9, 2018
I lived in Westcliff on Sea for a few years, and found it to be quite rough in areas, especially along the main high street at night. However, it's handy to get into Southend - you can actually walk it if you're feeling fit, or the train station is just a short walk away from Westcliff High Street. Plenty of restaurants, shops and convenience stores nearby. Great place to commute into London, although parking can be a nightmare.

Deciphering Crime Rates - a Deep Dive Into UK Postcode Analysis
Ever wondered about the crime rate in your UK postcode? You're not alone. We've dug deep into the data, uncovering trends and patterns that'll make your head spin.
Death of the High Street?
The BBC reports that despite councils' attempts to kurb them, the UK's high streets have seen a huge growth in fast food outlets. Could this mark the death knell for the Great British high street, and what can we do about it to halt its decline?
Discrimination by Postcode
You really couldn't make it up, could you? Some of the country's most vulnerable people are missing out on their weekly £25 Cold Weather Payment, just because the system that's in operation is discriminating against them because payments are based on postcode, rather than geographic location.
The Redesign is Underway
Well, the current website was absolutely in dire need of a good redesign - from the ground up. So I set out to pull it all apart and get it up and running again to become the most comprehensive guide to every postcode in the UK. And it's been a long, tough job from start to finish - and quite possibly the biggest project I've ever undertaken.
SOCIAL GRADES
According to census records, 20% of people here have a social grade of AB (highest), compared to the national average of 27%.
