A little history
RAF Hornchurch was one of the most important Battle of Britain sector stations — its Spitfires defended London in 1940. The airfield closed in 1962 but its history is celebrated locally. The Queen's Theatre is a well-regarded producing theatre. The suburb retains a distinct character with Emerson Park being particularly prosperous.
The Hornchurch Country Park on the former airfield site commemorates the Battle of Britain heritage. The Queen's Theatre for excellent local productions. Emerson Park for the leafy suburban character.
