Canvey Radio was a land-based  pirate radio station located on Canvey Island, Essex that began broadcasting in 1985 on 93.1 MHz FM.

The station was founded by DJ’s John Hanson, Jim Price and John Allen and soon attracted the attention of main stream DJ’s who provided material and shows for this popular radio station.

Following several raids by the GPO Radio Tracking services the station finally closed down in 1988.
