About

St Alban's ward is situated in the eastern part of the London Borough of Havering, primarily encompassing the residential area of Romford. The ward is characterised by a mix of housing types, including interwar semidetached homes and more modern developments. Its boundaries are largely defined by major roads like Eastern Avenue and Waterloo Road, which facilitate movement through the area. Local shopping needs are served by smaller parades of shops rather than a large central retail centre.

The area includes several green spaces, such as St Alban's Catholic Church grounds and the playing fields of local schools. It is a predominantly residential community with a range of educational facilities serving families in the ward. The presence of the church, from which the ward takes its name, provides a focal point within the neighbourhood. The area maintains a quiet, suburban atmosphere distinct from the busier commercial centre of Romford nearby.
