Hamlet Court Road is one of the strongest independent retail streets in south Essex, an eclectic mix of vintage shops, cafes, florists, bakers, a greengrocer, jewellers and a wool shop. It was once known outside the area as 'the Bond Street of the East Coast' for its specialist and upmarket shops.

The street's history is a boom-and-bust story locals know well: the Havens department store opened here in 1901 and traded until 2017, and the road declined through the recessions of the 1980s and 90s before regeneration work in the 2000s and 2010s.

Traders, residents and community groups now work together through the 'Hamlet Court Calling' initiative, backed by the High Street Task Force and Southend City Council, so there is an organised, receptive local business community here.

Sharply mixed economics: Milton ward ranks among the more deprived areas in England while neighbouring Chalkwell is affluent, and both feed the same shopping street.

Westcliff-on-Sea had a recorded population of about 21,108 at the 2021 census.
