History of Havering

The London Borough of Havering was created in 1965 by the combined former area of the Municipal Borough of Romford and Hornchurch Urban District which had been transferred to Greater London from Essex by the London Government Act 1963. In Scottish English, haver (from the Scots havers (oats)) means "to maunder; to talk foolishly; to chatter," as heard in the song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers. In British English elsewhere, haver means "to hem and haw; to be indecisive" . Throughout the 20th century, along with other London suburbs, Romford significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1937. Romfordwas part of Essex until 1965, when it became part of Greater London.

There are seven town centres in Havering, offering quality shopping, restaurants and events during the year. As a shopping destination, Havering suits everyones different taste buds.

Yes I have been watching Havering develop over the past few years and really is one borough oozing with potential. I am also a serious amateur history buff and didn’t realise how ancient this part of London was back in the old days !  

Whether you’re hitting the stalls at Romford Market, spotting birds at Rainham Marshes or enjoying a lakeside walk around Raphael Park, there are lots of great ways to spend your time in Havering. The 215-acre Bedfords Park has a cafe and gift shop to complement its rolling greenery and wildlife, while the Thames Chase Forest Centre offers an array of fun activities.

Part of Hainault Forest Country Park resides in the north west corner of the borough, while Thorndon Country Park is just over the north east border in Brentwood. Havering Country Park and Bedfords Park are excellent spots for a walk in the north, while Central Park, Eastbrookend Country Park, Harrow Lodge Park, the Chase and Beam Valley Country Park form an incredible stretch of open space further south.

Close to an array of open spaces in East London, Romford is a large town in Havering home to the Liberty Shopping centre with over 100 shops to visit. Next door to Hornchurch and not far from Upminster
