About Havering

London's most easterly borough, covered door to door

Havering sits right on the edge of Greater London, bordering Essex directly — genuinely more suburban and green than most of the capital, with the town of Romford as its bustling centre. Romford's market has traded for centuries, and the borough spreads out through leafy Upminster and Hornchurch to Rainham, where the RSPB's Rainham Marshes nature reserve holds one of London's best stretches of wild Thames-side wetland.

Havering's position on the capital's eastern edge, close to both the M25 and A12, means routes out to Essex and beyond are usually more direct than from further into London. RushXO runs a dedicated Havering rota; our drivers know Romford's town centre traffic and the fastest ways onto the A12 and M25.

Havering booking tips
  • Romford town centre and market days get busy — book ahead for a smooth pickup near the centre.
  • Heading into Essex? Havering's position on the M25/A12 corridor usually means a more direct run than from further into London.
  • Rainham Marshes visit? The reserve sits a little further out — allow extra time from central Havering.
  • Early airport departure? Book the evening before to guarantee your preferred vehicle.
