Castle Point is located between Southend Airport and Thames Freeport and offers excellent road, rail, sea and air connectivity. The borough covers Canvey Island and the mainland towns of South Benfleet, Hadleigh, Tarpots and Thundersley. It is located 30 miles to the east of London and 15 miles from junction 29 on the M25.

Canvey Island is undergoing an impressive Regeneration programme, with the creation of 2,500 new jobs at the West of the Island. This includes a new retail park (Northwick Retail Park) and an industrial site, housing opportunities for warehousing, manufacturing and trades counters. There are further Ambitious plans for the regeneration of our Town Centres, while retaining their character and heritage.
Canvey’s Xtend College offers a clear pathway into high-end careers, offering courses and skills training for careers in the exciting, emerging field of immersive technology, using industry-leading extended reality (XR) equipment. USP College in Benfleet also hosts a broad range of Further Education qualifications, and as of November 2024, it saw an exciting expansion by opening cutting edge med-tech facilities, including an immersive theatre, engineering workshops and sports science building.
