Is Hornchurch in London or Essex?

That one comes up all the time. Technically it's classed as London, because it comes under the London Borough of Havering and was incorporated into Greater London in 1965 when the London Government Act 1963 came into effect. Still, ask anyone round here and they'll probably tell you it's Essex, and it still feels that way as you get that quieter, more down-to-earth vibe. The roads aren't too busy and there's more green areas.

What's Hornchurch like to live in?

It's a nice place to settle. Busy enough to keep things interesting but not too loud. The High Street's got plenty going on with coffee shops, barbers, restaurants, a few pubs if you fancy a pint. On weekends people are out walking in Harrow Lodge Park or over Hornchurch Country Park. There's a good community feel, you see familiar faces often. Schools have solid reputations and getting into London's pretty easy too. A lot of families come here and end up staying put.
