A growing number of Londoners are swapping city chaos for the greener, calmer pastures of places like Hadleigh, Benfleet, Rayleigh & Hockley, where the air is fresher, the homes are bigger, and the coffee still hits the spot. So what’s the big appeal? And why are so many people heading east with a Rightmove tab permanently open? Let’s take a look.
Halloween in Hockley has never been so hauntingly good! On Friday 31st October 2025, the Hockley Village shopping area was bursting with spooky excitement as hundreds of families came out to enjoy the Hockley Halloween Trail. With eerie smoke drifting through the streets, catchy Halloween tunes in the air, and friendly ghouls greeting youngsters.
Thinking about a move? Imagine stepping out your front door, dog lead in hand, breathing in the fresh woodland air, and wandering through ancient trees only to emerge at a cosy pub just minutes later. Welcome to life near West Wood in Hadleigh, where peaceful woodland walks meet the irresistible charm of the dog friendly Woodman’s Arms.
Hockley’s Christmas Lights Switch-On brought music, laughter and a burst of artificial snow to Spa Road, creating a lively, festive evening filled with families, Santa letters and plenty of community cheer.
