Havering is bordered to the south by the Thames and the London Borough of Bexley, to the west by the London Borough of Redbridge and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, to the north with Essex and the east with Thurrock.
The London Borough of Havering was created in 1965 by uniting Romford Borough and Hornchurch Urban District and transferring them to Greater London from Essex.
Because of London Underground and fast rail connections to central London from transport hubs at Romford and Upminster much of Havering has considerable residential development which has occurred throughout the last century.
