Leigh-on-Sea – a historical fishing village that blends traditional seafront apartments with and newer housing developments on the outskirts of town.
BACKGROUND
Leigh-on-Sea is a district of Southend-on-Sea, on the northern side of the Thames Estuary, a few miles from the North Sea to the east, and a similar distance from the Kent coast to the south.
When the railway from London to Southend was introduced in the mid-19th century, much of the "old town" was demolished make way for the modernisation. New housing and streets then started to be built on the ridge of hills above the settlement. About 40 miles (64 km) from central London, it is considered part of the London commuter belt.
TRANSPORT
The town is served by Leigh-on-Sea railway station on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. Regular, daily bus services run between Southend-on-Sea, Benfleet, Canvey Island, Basildon, Rayleigh and Chelmsford . Scheduled flights to national and European destinations operate out of nearby London Southend Airport.
AMENITIES
The old town, Old Leigh, lays claim to more than 1,000 years of fishing. Local fish merchants these days still process and trade a wide range of supplies daily.
During the 1990s, Leigh-on-Sea went through considerable change: bars, restaurants, boutiques, and galleries began to replace many of the traditional high street shops.
Significant urban regeneration has continued, attracting new residents to the town as well as helping to accommodate an increase in the local population.
Leigh-on-Sea has frequently been classed as one of the best places to live in the UK for a variety of reasons. These include its proximity to London, the outstanding Westcliff and Southend grammar schools, access to sports and arts activities, and a strong sense of community spirit.
In Leigh-on-Sea you will also find nature reserve at Two Tree Island and a centrally located beach adjacent to Bell Wharf.
There are some highly rated secondary schools in Leigh-on-Sea, including Eastwood Academy and St Christopher's School. Saint Pierre School and St Michael's School are independent co-educational establishments while nearby, Southend High School and Westcliff High School for Boys and Westcliff High School for Girls have outstanding reputations.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
