The town is known for its quiet residential streets, green spaces, and excellent transport links to London and other major cities in the region.

Despite its relatively small size, New Thundersley has a thriving local community and a range of amenities to suit all tastes and interests. The town is home to several primary schools, a secondary school, and a number of local shops, restaurants, and pubs.
