Havering parks and open spaces

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The London Borough of Havering is a London borough in north east outer London. Much of its area was protected from development by the Green Belt laws introduced after World War II such that more than half the borough is parkland.

Its parks and open spaces range from the large urban park to village greens and there are more than a hundred of them in total, mostly in the care of Havering London Borough Council, but some by other organisations.

Part of the extensive Thames Chase Community forest of East London is also within the borough.

Other parks and open spaces are:

• Bedfords Park
• Havering Country Park
• Hornchurch Country Park
• Langtons, Hornchurch: parkland
• River Ingrebourne and Ingrebourne Valley Greenway
• Upminster Windmill and open space
• King George Playing Fields, Collier Row
• Lawns Park, Collier Row

A new 1,500 acre riverside conservation park, part of the London Riverside development, called Wildspace is currently under development in the south of the borough. ^[1]
