Nice shopping area with quite a few beautique shops and cafes.Interesting interior design shopsParking is not too bad.
Enjoy walking around the old part of the town, and recommend finishing at the Simply Seafood restaurant - so long as there is room.
what more can I say than one of the best places to walkround on a summers day with the cockle sheds and bars could easily lose a day and not care u have accomplished nothing
There is so much to do in Old Leigh and the fact that few cars are around, adds to the ambience. There are plenty of shops, some pubs, ice creams parlours, restaurants, souvenir shops and, of course, seafood places to enjoy. There is something for everyone. If the local art galleries are open, then take a look, it is worth the time spent inside. There is also a museum. There are plenty of views overlooking the sea and the boats of the cocklers - and if you like to sketch and paint, then the world is your oyster. Walking around here is a delight and certainly builds your appetite!
Lots of good pubs with character,, two decent restaurants, fish and chips, seafood, tea and coffee, great views, small Sandy beach, lots of seating.
It is a quaint old village right on the sea. It is about a hour to walk along the sea front right from Southend into Leigh. The sea food is great and there is a pub right on the sea front which sells any sea food you can imagine.
Old Leigh ...Well worth a trip ( if you can get parked) !On busy bank holidays or summer weekends why not hop on a train ! C2C Leigh on sea.Great pubs , food sea air . Highly recommended day out.
The history of the area, the eating places and the glorious views across the estuary make this a lovely place to visit, especially out of season when it is quieter.The down-side of course is the parking which can be a bit stressful if you don't get your timing right.
Great restaurants and pubs. Nice relaxing place to go anytime of the year. Peter boat great food and good value for money. Love the flame towers at night.
I actually decided to move to leigh after visiting old leigh few years back during one summer..I didnt even know how the neighbor hood's like or anything else, leigh bought me over with this charming little beach.
