Westcliff-on-Sea is a suburb of Southend-on-Sea, a seaside resort as well as unitary authority in Essex in south-east England. It gets on the north shore of the reduced Thames Estuary, regarding 34 miles (55 kilometres) east of London. The primary shopping location in Westcliff-on-Sea is Hamlet Court Road, where the department store Havens, developed in 1901, continued to be the anchor store till its closure in 2017. Hamlet Court Road took its name from a manor house called the Hamlet Court, which stood on land currently occupied by Pavarotti's dining establishment and adjacent shops, facing in the direction of the sea with sweeping gardens down to the rail line. The road later on turned into a strong independent retail area and also rapidly arrived outside the location as the Bond Street of Essex. There were numerous haberdashers as well as specialist shops, and also it was not too unusual to see chauffeurs waiting on their employers to arise from the stores.
