Welcome to Little Thurrock

Little Thurrock is a small village located in the borough of Thurrock, Essex. It is situated on the north bank of the River Thames and is bordered by the towns of Grays and Tilbury. The village has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and evidence of Roman occupation can still be seen in the area. Little Thurrock is also home to several historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century.

Despite its small size, Little Thurrock has a strong sense of community and is home to several local amenities. The village has a primary school, a community centre, and a local pub, The Ship Inn, which is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The village also has several parks and green spaces, including Little Thurrock Marshes, which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its unique flora and fauna.

Little Thurrock is well-connected to the rest of Essex and London, with easy access to the A13 and M25 motorways. The village is also served by several bus routes, and the nearby Grays railway station provides regular services to London Fenchurch Street and Southend-on-Sea. Despite its proximity to major transport links, Little Thurrock retains a peaceful and rural feel, making it a popular choice for those looking for a quieter way of life.
