About

Havering-atte-Bower sits on a gravel ridge to the north of Romford and is one of the higher points in the borough, with long views across the Lea valley. The village core retains a compact plan around the parish church of St John the Baptist and a village green. The area records its medieval role as a royal hunting centre: field lines and lanes still betray the shape of the old park and the site where the former royal residence once stood, and those traces appear in local place names and property boundaries.

Chase Cross lies on the eastern slopes of the same ridge and developed as a suburban cluster in the 20th century, with terraces and small estates lining its main routes. A short parade of shops and community facilities serves local needs, and regular buses connect the area to Romford for rail services and to neighbouring town centres. Local primary schools, sports pitches and patches of open land give a mix of built and green spaces that mark the transition from village to suburb within Havering.
