Basildon in Essex is the largest town in the county and has the added bonus of being just 10 miles away from Southend-On-Sea, the (sometimes) sunny seaside! While it’s around 26 miles away from London, it still has brilliant transport links to the capital as well as motorways to get to the rest of the UK. It’s near the M25 which means that getting to London by car is also relatively easy – although more and more people are getting rid of their vehicles in Basildon, preferring to take advantage of the punctual railway line. It’s on the London, Tilbury and Southend line, with trains direct into Fenchurch street in just 40 minutes. This makes it a popular place to live for commuters wanting to be close to London, yet with all the benefits of suburban living.

That said, many people now choose to work from home so there’s less need to commute and even more reason to give up the car! At ScrapToday, we get enquiries almost daily from people living in Basildon who want to scrap their car and take the cash instead. People tell us they just don’t need their motor anymore – even more so if they are a two-car family, most look to downsize to just one car.
