Connections by Rail, Road, and River

The borough’s excellent transport links have a great deal to do with its development – notably the extension and electrification of the London Underground District Line in the 1930s to new stations at Elm Park and Upminster. Long before that, of course, it was the building of the railway lines to London Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street in the late 19th century that spurred the growth of the garden suburbs of Upminster, Emerson Park and Gidea Park (Romford Garden Suburb). With the M25 forming part of its eastern boundary, Havering offers fast access to all major national routes – and of course the M25 itself serves all four London airports. Public transport coverage is very good – with the District Line running East-West as well as the Great Eastern Main Line, Elizabeth Line, the C2C London Tilbury and Southend Line, and an extensive network of London Bus routes.
International Recruitment for Schools

Education in Havering

With 60 state secondary schools including one senior all-through school, 18 primary (infant and junior) schools as well as several special and alternative schools, three prep schools and three further education colleges, the borough has no shortage of educational establishments – and by extension of teaching career possibilities. According to a 2017 Trust for London and New Policy Institute study, 44% of 19-year-olds there lack level 3 or A level equivalent qualifications – so there’s no shortage of challenge for ambitious teachers who are keen to make a real difference.

A great place to live and build a career

The London Borough of Havering’s teacher recruitment ads proclaim that the area is ‘a great place to live and work!’ – and, as a major commercial hub with a highly developed leisure and nightlife economy focusing on Romford, which has the highest concentration of bars and nightclubs anywhere outside the West End, the area certainly lives up to that claim. And although the connections to the heart of the capital are frequent and fast, if it’s shopping you’re after, your hardly need to use them. Romford in particular offers a huge variety of independent shops, major malls, and smaller local arcades, including the Liberty Shopping Centre, The Mercury Mall and the The Brewery, as well as the famous Romford market. That’s not to say that Havering’s attractions don’t have their more nuanced and cultured side. On the contrary, the borough boasts two theatres (Brookside and Queen’s Theatre), The National Trust’s Rainham Hall, the Upminster Tithe Barn Museum of Nostalgia, RAF Hornchurch Heritage Centre and, more recently, John Kaufman’s awe-inspiring ‘Diver: Regeneration’ sculpture in the River Thames at Rainham. 15 feet tall, 6 feet wide and made of about 3 tons of galvanised steel, it’s partly submerged every high tide – and completely covered by spring and neap tides.
