London | Havering
The County of London was formed in 1889 from parts of the ancient counties of Middlesex, Kent and Surrey, with the City of London remaining an independent body. In 1965 Greater London was formed, taking in the rest of Middlesex (which no longer existed as a county) together with parts of Essex and Hertfordshire and further areas of Kent and Surrey.



Greater London is made up of 13 Inner and 19 Outer London boroughs together with the City of London.



Havering once lay in Essex and is today one of the 19 boroughs making up Outer London. It lies on the northeast edge of the capital with the River Thames running along its southern border.

The borough once lay in Essex which once formed the kingdom of the East Saxons, later becoming part of the kingdom of Wessex. The East Saxon kingdom reached from the river Thames in the south (on the other side of which lay the kingdom of Kent) to the river Stour in the north (which separated the kingdom from that of the East Angles).
