Welcome to Ravens

About us

Ravens, Southend’s original family-run department store has offered shoppers in Essex and beyond an unparalleled choice in menswear, mens dinner suit hire and gifts for well over 100 years. And since 2002, its womenswear department has grown from strength to strength, with an ever-increasing selection of contemporary clothes from top international designers.

Ravens is the place to shop if you want something for that person who has everything – whether it’s a quality watch for a man or woman, crystal jewellery, ceramics, leather goods, cufflinks – in a veritable Aladdin’s cave over three retail floors.

We're here to help!

Our customer service is legendary, and if there’s something you need to complete an outfit, we’ll do our best to help.

We're open 9.00am to 5.30pm on Mondays to Saturdays and look forward to welcoming you in store.
