Covering the north-western part of the London Borough of Havering, many of the comfortable residents of these extensive suburbs would consider their allegiance to be to Essex rather than to London. Well-to-do without being affluent, Romford is home to many well-paid skilled manual workers, who are key Labour target voters. However, the overall Conservative majority should put the seat out of Labour's reach.
