Collier Row is a place in London, United Kingdom in the London Borough of Havering. It is a suburban development located 14 miles (22.5 km) north east of Charing Cross.
The area is essentially a large housing estate built during the 1930s as part of the inter-war London housing expansion. Its name originates from charcoal burners who used to occupy the area. Remains of Roman settlement have been uncovered in the area. [1]
[edit] Transport
The area is not connected to the London Underground or National Rail networks, however Hainault tube station and Romford railway station are nearby. Transport for London bus routes 175, 247, 252, 294 and 365 serve the local area and it is planned that a future extension of the East London Transit could serve the area.
