Chase Cross
Human settlement in England
Chase Cross is a district of the London Borough of Havering in London, England. Chase Cross lies 0.8 miles (1.3 km) east of Collier Row, 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Charing Cross and just under 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Romford. The name is thought to come from its position as a crossroads in the chase (hunting ground) or Hainault Forest.[1] The forest was cleared for agriculture in the 1850s, before being developed for housing in the 1930s.[2]
