💨 Abstract

Quintin Lake's travels around the UK led him to discover that Canvey Island in Essex was the friendliest place he's ever been. This Thames Estuary island, accessible from London and home to a nature reserve and beaches like Concord and Thorney Bay, boasts a classic seaside resort with various attractions. Lake also praised Essex as the UK's most underrated county, highlighting the charming rivalries between neighboring counties.
