Named from the historic parish of Grays Thurrock, Grays became the administrative hub of Thurrock when incorporated into the borough in 1936. It sits on the River Thames in Essex, approximately 20 miles east of central London. Chafford Hundred stands among the most sought-after neighbourhoods for primary school catchments, with Little Thurrock and Chadwell St Mary extending the school-competitive residential belt. Port of London operations and retail drive the economy. Commuter trains from Grays station reach Liverpool Street in around fifty minutes via the District Line. Its roughly 44,000 residents reflect its steady modern growth within the Thames Gateway development corridor.
