North Ockendon is a place in the London Borough of Havering in London, United Kingdom. It is the only settlement within Greater London to be located outside the bounds of the M25 motorway which orbits the city, and is situated 18 miles (30 km) east north-east of Charing Cross.
To the far north, beyond the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway, it borders the villages of Great Warley, Little Warley and Childerditch in the borough of Brentwood, the settlements of West Horndon and Bulphan to the east and South Ockendon to the south which is in the borough and unitary authority of Thurrock.
From 1894 until it was abolished in 1934, North Ockendon formed a parish in the Orsett Rural District of Essex. The majority of its former area was used to enlarge the Cranham parish of Hornchurch Urban District and the remainder of the former parish, around 383 acres, was used to form part of Thurrock Urban District in 1936. In 1965 Hornchurch Urban District was abolished and its former area, including North Ockendon, was transferred to Greater London and used to form the present-day London Borough of Havering.
