Harold Wood
Havering, London
Harold Wood sits at the eastern edge of Havering, in the commuter belt where the Elizabeth line now runs out to Shenfield through what was once Essex countryside. The listed-building set includes the Grade II* Great Tomkyns, a sixteenth- and seventeenth-century timber-framed hall house, its Grade II* associated barn, and Page's Farmhouse. Nature is strong: 193 hectares of green space anchored by the 26.2-hectare Tyler's Common on the northern edge. Eighteen outstanding-rated schools sit within reach, pollution scores are strong at 73, and housing is among the most affordable in this batch. The drawbacks are the outer-suburb ones. Public-transport access is only moderate despite Harold Wood on the Elizabeth line, because the rest of the ward is on long walks or buses, there is no conservation area coverage, and the food and nonFood venue counts are modest at 45 and 29 respectively. Culture and heritage scores are both low outside the listed farmstead group.
