Welcome to Upminster

Upminster is a suburban town located in the northeastern part of Greater London. It is situated in the London Borough of Havering and is approximately 16 miles away from the city center. The town is well-connected to other parts of London through the Upminster station, which is served by the District line and the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. Upminster is known for its peaceful and green surroundings, making it a popular residential area for families.

One of the main attractions in Upminster is the Upminster Windmill, which is a Grade II listed building. The windmill was built in 1803 and was used for grinding corn until the early 20th century. Today, it is a museum that showcases the history of the windmill and the local area. Visitors can climb to the top of the windmill and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Another popular attraction in Upminster is the Upminster Tithe Barn Museum, which is a 15th-century barn that has been converted into a museum. The museum displays a collection of agricultural tools and equipment, as well as exhibits on local history.

Upminster is also home to a number of parks and green spaces, including Upminster Park, which has a children's playground, tennis courts, and a bowling green. The town is also close to the Hornchurch Country Park, which is a large nature reserve that offers walking trails, birdwatching, and fishing. Upminster is a great place to live for those who want to enjoy a peaceful and green environment while still being close to the amenities of London.
