Rainham is so far east it’s almost in the sea. It’s quiet. Too quiet. But rent prices are prehistoric—like, dinosaur-level low.
You get a train connection to London that feels like a victory lap. The commute is long, but the price drop is huge. Bring a book. Or a podcast about marshlands.
Fun fact: Rainham has a nature reserve full of frogs. You can hear them at night. It’s like living in a wildlife documentary with a budget.
