Rainham is a delightful suburban area that offers a perfect balance between the peace of the countryside and the convenience of being close to London. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, making it an ideal place for families and those looking for a more relaxed pace of life.

One of the best things about Rainham is its community spirit. The local shops, cafes, and pubs all have a welcoming vibe, and there are plenty of green spaces like the Rainham Marshes, perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful walk. The area also boasts good schools and a variety of amenities, making it a great place to raise a family.

Rainham’s transport links are another major plus. With easy access to the C2C train line, you can be in central London in just over half an hour, making it convenient for commuters. Additionally, the A13 provides quick connections to other parts of Essex and East London.

Overall, Rainham offers a wonderful mix of community, convenience, and natural beauty. Whether you’re considering a move or just visiting, Rainham is well worth exploring. Highly recommend!

A very basic train station which is served by c2c trains the ticket hall area is small and there are toilets on platform 2. The foot bridge in the station is old and has a lot of steps. The two platforms are long and outside the station could do with a bit of a make over. There is also a level crossing based at the end of the platforms.

Rainham is a small town to the east of london. It has a small selection of local shops, a very large Tesco store.
There are numerous bus services to other local areas and direct trains to central London.

Rainham is ok, from what I see, a fair few alcoholics/homeless hanging around though, which is a poor state of society in one of the richest countries in the world.

I feel like this station is abandoned! C2C is terrible! App says different time you come trains always delaying! not all weekend there is train for working people they need to use replacement bus! It’s unbelievable honestly! i would not even give 2 stars! regreted moving here as traveling by train is so difficult !-Terrible!

Station is ok but definitely needs some attention. There's not enough space on the westbound platform, the toilets where closed which was not great thankfully there's an enclosed shelter for the London bound but it isn't that big

Lovely little village on the outskirts of both Havering and Greater London. An old fashioned style to the shopping despite having a massive modern Tescos there now as well. Massive new housing estates for 3,000 plus houses for new buyers in this area on what was the old Ford Motor Company's 578 acre or 5 by 3 miles 15 Square miles of estate there b4 the lack of Tory investment drove them away from the UK to fairer shores and Beam Park Railway Station soon to be under construction on the Fenchurch Street Line ( Tory Gov at present has decided NOT to fund its £43million construction cost so work has ground to a halt b4 its even really yet started there ) nearby and in the village itself going on nearby as well. Clean air too. Loadsa walks along the River Thames and a huge wildlife Sanctuary re the Rainham Marshes Country Park Areas nearby. Lovely!

Horrible station. I saw nobody at the ticket office or ticket barriers despite it being lunchtime, the footbridge linking the platforms is old and drafty and they won't let you use the side entrance to get step free access to the London bound platform unless you have "less ability to climb stairs." It's almost like they want to discriminate against the disabled. Service here isn't great either.
