About Collier Row

Collier Row is a suburban residential area in northern Havering, located between Romford, Harold Hill, Chase Cross and Hainault Forest.

The area is centred around Collier Row Road, where residents find supermarkets, independent shops, takeaways, restaurants, pharmacies and everyday services. It has a practical and family-oriented feel, serving local communities rather than attracting large numbers of visitors. Housing includes terraced properties, semi-detached homes, bungalows, flats and family houses. Collier Row benefits from proximity to green space.
