All things Basildon!

r/Basildon

All things Basildon! Basildon is a large town in the county of Essex, England. We have a long history stretching back to Saxon times and more recently as a ‘new town’ soaking up population overspill from London and combining the smaller towns of Pitsea, Laindon and Vange with Basildon itself. The town continues to develop at a rapid pace. Great music, artists and athletes hail from Basildon and whilst often derided in popular media, Basildon has a lot going for it.
