In recent years, a relatively small area by Southchurch Road has become known as Southchurch…read moreVillage. Why? It's not a village. I thought this was estate agent hype, but it seems that the rail operator, C2C, bought into this because they recently added for Southchurch Village under Southend East on their station signs. The area is trying to be a little like Notting Hill with quirky, trendy shops and cafes It's not a bad thing considering the main shopping area in Southend is incredibly bland. In the middle of the village is Zu, a clothing store catering to those with European tastes and a good deal of money. I have bought a number of special outfits for my kids from this shop and I have to say, it is wonderful. I wish I could afford to shop here all the time. They were one of the first shops in Southend to stock Crocs and Uggs (I'm not a fan but you can't argue that they're very popular). Their Mexx and Oilily dresses are unusual, well made and covetable. Small Paul clothes for the boys are everything little boys should be - smart and a little bit cheeky! They also stock Camper, Kenzo, Diesel and Leli Kelly. I would award 5 stars if I could get a dress for my 3 year old for less than £40!!

Lovely clothes for a special occasion. Staff helpful and good advice. Shoes also available.read more
