Its primary claim to fame is that Joseph Conrad lived and also wrote there. Unlike a few other areas of Thurrock, Stanford-le-Hope is bordered by countryside and farmland. Stanford-le-Hope is surrounded to the north by the A13 road as well as to the south by the Thames Estuary. It lies 12.7 miles (20.5 kilometres) west of Southend-on-Sea. The town centre has a village pity its 800-year-old church, St Margarets making a prominent and attractive site around which stores, bars and also dining establishments have grown to create a dynamic core to the community. As Stanford-le-Hope expands in size, it has begun to integrate adjoining negotiations such as Corringham, Mucking and also Fobbing, the latter of which was the scene of one of the uprisings which led to the Peasants' Revolt. The River Hope, a tributary of the Thames, runs through the community. In your area there are a number of parks and also nature reserves, especially Thurrock Thameside Nature Reserve, with a visitor centre providing views up and down the Thames across both industrial as well as all-natural landscapes including the Mucking Flats SSSI.
