Chase Cross

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