Great Wakering is a village in Essex, England. The nearest large town is Southend which is approximately four miles to the west of the village. Public transportation to the village is via bus service to Southend via Arriva and Stephensons, but the village is well served with several historical public houses, a primary school, a Co-Operative supermarket, post office, hairdressers and several small and characterful village shops. Great Wakering consists mainly of two roads, the High Street which runs from the junction of Star Lane, and New Road which begins outside St. Nicholas parish church and runs down to the bridges for Foulness Island.
