Head for the worlds end in Tilbury, free parking if you have a meal. good food, good company and cold beer!! you will still get a receipt for parking even though its free 
Address:Â Fort Rd, Tilbury, Essex, RM18 7NRÂ
Try and get there early as it fills up pretty quick, you can park on the access road as well, just make sure your wheels arent up on the kerb.
Worlds end gets my vote too…
Have a play around on www.hgvparking.com theres loads of places in that area on the website
stay at morrissons mate, plenty parking and not too far from essex
If they pay parking best bet is services, theres a spot tho just down the road from royal mail on oliver road but wouldnt like to comment of how secure it is, theres are trucks running in and out all night so mite be ok.

skids:
Thurrock services or titan truckstop on Oliver Road. I prefer the services to the truckstop myself as it is quieter (coop have trailers shunting in and out). Anywhere in between will fill up early and around there is prime diesel theft country. Myself, I would stay in Sittingbourne as you are not much more than half hour away from Thurrock anyway.Thurrock services quite are they ?
If you park in the overflow bit at the services then yes it is quiet, a damned sight quieter than Titan anyway!
commonrail:
might be worth phoning up and booking a place…last time i went there i was told it was full.however when i turned round in the yard i noticed empty spaces.
i was on for stobarts at the time and i could`nt help thinking that was something to do with it…it was just the way he grunted “full” as i pulled up to the window
The empty spaces were probably for people who contract park there as an operating centre.
i stayed at titan last yr although its secure alright i didn eat there but the showers are filthy i think i came out dirtier than when i got in em 
in short its a ■■■■■■■■
