Where to stay in Chafford Hundred
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Chafford Hundred is a housing development in the town of Grays, which sets the terms: the streets are residential, the room supply is thin, and the working choice is whether to base in Grays itself. Grays takes the visitor. The suburb stands north-west of Grays Town Centre, close enough that a single room covers both, and the borough of Thurrock spreads the rest of Essex beyond it.
All Saints' Church, the Church of St Mary the Virgin and Coppid Hall are the named stops on any walk from the door.
