About

Rainham & Wennington is a large eastern ward of Havering, defined by its industrial and marshland character along the Thames. The area contains the significant Rainham Marshes, an RSPB nature reserve on former Ministry of Defence land, providing a stark contrast of wildlife habitat against the industrial backdrop. The A13 road forms a major boundary, separating these riverside areas from the more residential sections.

The residential neighbourhoods are primarily low-density, centred around the historic Rainham Village with its Norman church. The area functions largely as a commuter settlement, with industrial estates like Ferry Lane offering local employment. The presence of the massive Rainham landfill site, now being converted into a country park, is a dominant local feature shaping the landscape and community.
