NEED TO KNOW | AREA INSIGHT
Commuting to the city: Getting from Brentwood station to Liverpool Street takes 40 minutes. By car, this journey will take just under an hour. Those based at Canary Wharf will find that their commute is 40 minutes by car, missing all the inner city traffic.
Education: The local independent Brentwood School gets good results. Last year 95 per cent of its pupils scored A*-C in their GCSEs. Chelmsford County High, a high performing grammar school, also gets good results, but lies around 20 minutes away from the town centre by car.
