Area guide

Moving to or from Havering: what to know

The London Borough of Havering is the most easterly borough in London and one of the largest by area. More than half of it is Green Belt, which gives it a suburban, even semi-rural feel in places like Havering-atte-Bower, Noak Hill and Wennington, while Romford provides a busy town centre with shopping, nightlife and major rail links.

Transport is a big reason people choose Havering. The Elizabeth line runs from Romford, Gidea Park and Harold Wood; the District line serves Elm Park, Hornchurch and Upminster; and c2c trains run from Rainham and Upminster. Road links include the A12, A127, A13 and M25, which also make Havering a convenient base for long-distance moves.

For your Havering move, tell us about your dates, addresses, items and any access or parking restrictions. We offer free surveys and fixed quotes, with packing and dismantling services available.

Know before you move

Moving challenges in Havering

Every area has its own quirks. These are considerations to discuss when planning your Havering move.

Property types

Larger Havering homes often mean more furniture, fuller lofts and garages, and items that haven't moved in years. Tell us about the volume of belongings and access when arranging your free survey.

Weather

Havering's open green spaces and suburban streets leave vans and driveways exposed to rain. Discuss packing and wet-weather handling requirements at the survey.

Roads and parking

The A12, A127 and A13 all run through or near Havering, and the M25 forms its eastern edge. Peak traffic and busy town centres like Romford can slow moves, so we plan timings to suit.

Building age

Many homes date from the 1920s and 1930s, with original staircases and doorframes. Large furniture may need dismantling to pass through stairs and doorways.

Common mistakes on Havering moves

  • × Booking without a survey, then finding the van is too small
  • × Not checking parking or permits at both addresses
  • × Leaving packing until the night before
  • × Moving furniture you plan to throw away
