5 Things to do Good for Kids in Hornchurch That You Shouldn't Miss
Hornchurch is a suburban town in the London Borough of Havering, East London, England, 15.2 miles (24.5 km) east-northeast of Charing Cross. Historically an ancient parish in the county of Essex, that became the manor and liberty of Havering, Hornchurch shifted from agriculture to other industries with the growing significance of nearby Romford as a market town and centre of administration. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Hornchurch significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming an urban district in 1926, and forming part of Greater London since 1965. It is the location of Queen's Theatre, Havering Sixth Form College and Havering College of Further and Higher Education.

I go here regularly for art lessons but people go for all sorts of reasons, including running, walking groups and dog walking. The centre is a great base to meet friends and for a starting and finishing point for all activities. Lots of local information available about the wildlife and history of Hornchurch Airfield. A lovely shop, stocked with lots of interesting things to buy. The staff are welcoming, mostly volunteers. The cafe serves a range of snacks, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, paninis, soups and a good range of teas and coffees. A good seating area inside. Also a large outside area with benches for good weather and people with dogs. A great view across the lake with interesting opportunities for birdwatching. Free parking in a recently enlarged car park too.

What a wonderful place to enjoy a walk on your own, with friends or with your dog. Lots to see - lakes, children's play area, wooddd areas, cows, sheep, rivers, excellent pathways and a superb cafe with inside and outside eating areas. Cannot believe this is so near to the rubbish of Newham. Well worth a visit.

This is well known for kids pottery painting, but they hold adult evenings too - it's a great meeting place and good for friends to get together. You can choose from a range of unglazed pottery and paint this. You pay for what you have painted and leave it with them to glaze and fire and you can collect is 7-10 days later. You can take your own drinks and snacks. Everything is carefully explained and it's a friendly atmosphere. It is a 2.5 hour experience. Very good!
