About

Hacton ward lies in the southern part of the London Borough of Havering. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of semi-detached and detached housing from the interwar and post-war periods. Its layout is defined by quiet, tree-lined streets and several small greens and open spaces, contributing to a settled, suburban atmosphere.

The ward contains the local Hacton Park and is served by Emerson Park railway station, providing a direct link to central London. Community life focuses on local schools and shops centred along the main roads.
