Review of Premier Travel Inn Thurrock - West, West Thurrock

CROSSING DARTFORD

Advantages: Cheap, conveniently located (for us)
Disadvantages: Not exactly a resort.

...When we visited London last year, we thought long and hard about where to stay. In case you didn't know it, London's fairly big. This means that no matter where you stay, it's never going to be convenient for all the things you want to do. With that in mind, we decided to stay outside the city in a hotel that was easy for us to get to, and had good links to the City. We chose Travelodge Thurrock because of those very reasons...that and the fact we got it for 25 quid a night. Using the Travelodge.co.uk website is easy-peasy; you can either click on the map, or enter a town to search the hotel you want. BUT, before you do that, check the little box in the bottom left-hand corner - this is where you will find the current offers. Clicking on this takes you to another page where you can do the exact same search...only less expensively...

Review of Travelodge, West Thurrock

More like a day trip, than a shopping trip....

Advantages: Lots of shops, plenty of variety, clean
Disadvantages: Need a whole day to get round everything

...'Ouch my feet ache', this was my first comment on returning from a day trip to Lakeside Shopping centre in Thurrock. It had taken me all day to browse my way around the hundreds of shops, and my purse (well debit card really) was feeling considerably lighter. Although many of the shops are the same as can be found on any High Street, the fact that they are all under one roof and the addition of quite a few shops that can't be found locally, mean that Lakeside is the place for me to go for Christmas shopping. ---Getting There Pt 1 (without a car)--- Now I don't have a car, and I live a relatively short distance away from Lakeside (in Basildon). Being car-less means that I have two modes of public transport at my disposal, the bus or train. The C2C service runs half-hourly on the Tilbury line of the Fenchurch Street service...

Review of Lakeside (Thurrock)

Perfect for Shopaholics!

Advantages: Lots of shops, spacious, plenty of choice for food!
Disadvantages: Can be a nightmare during peak (do not go in the Jan Sales!)

...I have been shopping in Lakeside for ages now. I live near some other major shopping places like Romford's shopping centre & Basildon but I always choose Lakeside as it DEFINTELY has the biggest selection of shops! I will try my best to use all the stuff I know about Lakeside and my personal experiences to help you decide whether it's somewhere you'd like to go.  So where is Lakeside? Lakeside shopping centre is situated in Thurrock a borough in Essex. They are signposted off junctions 30 and 31 from the M25 and the A13. How can I get to Lakeside? You can get to Lakeside via car, train or bus. I personally NEVER ever drive to Lakeside as I find the car park is a nightmare and it's hard to find spaces. Also when you do find a space the place is so blooming huge you can never seem to find your car once you have...

Review of Lakeside (Thurrock)

Fancy a spot of shopping?

Advantages: LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF SHOPS
Disadvantages: I've not got enough money

...Thurrock Essex, and is a 2 minute drive once you have exited either the M25 from junction 30 or 31, or the A13. It is well sign posted, and what with its massive surrounding Trading Park, bright lights and 26acres of ground, you can't really miss it. The nearest train station is Chafford Hundred, which is on the Tilbury Branch on the Southend to Fenchurch Street line, and is a 5 minute walk from the centre. There is also a large bus station, with busses coming to lakeside from various parts of Kent and most of Essex. Car Parking Parking your car at Lakeside is free, and there are various multi-storey car parks, and outside car parks which spread all the way round the outside of the shopping centre. All of the car parks are numbered and assigned a colour, and if your not used to Lakeside, it?s worth remembering these, as it can...

Something for a rainy day....

Advantages: Everything under one roof
Disadvantages: Sore feet

...Junction 25 off the M25 (I think?!) is Thurrock Lakeside. When I was living at home, before I was married this was my second home! The last time ventured there was just before Christmas. I went with my husband and parked (yes parked!!!) near the entrance to House of Fraser by 9.45 just before the shops were opening and it was bliss. Lakeside is set out on 3/4 floors. Working from the top down, the top floor is the "Food Court" which has many restaurant and burger bars (Burger King, KFC etc) with plenty of seating and plenty of variety. There is also plenty of toilets on this floor with disabled access and baby change. The next floor down has some of the obvious big named stores here, WH Smith, Next (which incidentially has 2 floors as does many of the big named stores in here). On the ground floor there is an annex to...

Review of Formule 1 London Thurrock M 25, West Thurrock

Lenny is right.

Advantages: Clean, friendly staff, cost effective.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...I went to a school reunion this weekend in East London, this coincided with my best friend coming over from New Zealand, she actually organised the reunion from there. Anyway, she was staying with her sister in thurrock and we decided we have had enough of dodgy Travelodge, so would try out a Premier Inn. There are two in Thurrock and as one was next to the motorway, we avoided that one. ~~~~~To Find and park~~~~~ Not as easy as the address states, it is not in fact Fleming Road, it is Howard Road, though the postcode is correct, good old TomTom. Once there it is easy to spot and there is a huge Bannatynes gymm over the road as a landmark. There is plenty of parking and the carpark is well lit and right next to the hotel which is very handy. ~~~~~The hotel itself~~~~~ Two storey, very modern, 24 hour staffed reception...
