Hornchurch Stadium is located on Bridge Avenue in Upminster in the London Borough of Havering, East London.
It was opened in 1956 by Hornchurch Urban District Council[1] and is home to A.F.C. Hornchurch (formerly Hornchurch F.C.) One stand, the 'Riverside', took its name from the River Ingrebourne, a few feet away.
The stadium contains a recently renovated athletics track, which is home to the Havering Mayesbrook Athletics Club. It is nearby to Upminster Bridge tube station.
