Essex Area


The Buying Agents for Essex and East London

Steeped in centuries of history, culture and maritime tradition, the ancient Saxon county of Essex is probably the most richly diverse county in England. From mad mud races to the oldest recorded town and tallest Tudor gatehouse in the country, 350 miles of coastline and the longest pleasure pier in the world, this county is full of surprises. 

Located north east of London, as you travel from west to east, the landscape in this vast county transforms from historic woodlands, through rolling wheat-fields dotted with poppies and windmills, to the estuaries, quaint villages and coastal towns of the great North Sea. 

Essex is also perfect for commuting into London, providing excellent transport links into the city of London via fast, direct trains into Liverpool Street. It also boasts London's fastest growing airport - Stansted - and is only a short drive to City Airport in London's dockland area, offering a variety of travel options.
