    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    So you don't know about the suburbia that is Upminster, Hornchurch, and the rest of Old Havering. There are areas where houses are near mansion size. The reason why Havering may be relatively cheap, house wise, is because the rail lines only serve the borough sparsely. The bits that used to be farmland, pre-war, are far away from any rail service. And of course, areas like proper, really Ye Olde Havering (such as the village that gives the borough its name) don't even pretend to have rail service. These areas have properties that are nearabouts an acre per as standard, each supporting several cars (including a minimum of one Rover, Land or Range). I don't know about their house prices, but I wouldn't call them poor.
