About

Gooshays ward occupies the northeastern edge of Havering, primarily characterised by residential housing estates built in the post-war period. The area is dominated by semi-detached and terraced homes, with significant green spaces like Gooshays Drive Open Space and the playing fields of Bower Park Academy providing local recreation. Its layout is defined by several major roads, including Straight Road and Whalebone Lane North, which connect it to Romford and other parts of the borough.

A notable feature is the presence of the sprawling Harold Hill estate, a large-scale development from the mid-20th century that forms the core of the ward. The landscape includes the natural corridor of the Ravensbourne River, which flows through the area's parklands. Local amenities are focused along Central Parade and the neighbouring streets, serving the community with essential shops and services.
