Welcome to Wennington

Wennington is a small village located in the London Borough of Havering, Greater London. It is situated on the north bank of the River Thames and is surrounded by the towns of Rainham, Aveley, and South Ockendon. The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Wennington Hall. Today, it is a peaceful and picturesque village with a population of around 500 people.

One of the main attractions in Wennington is the Wennington Hall, which is a Grade II listed building. The hall was built in the 18th century and has been used for various purposes over the years, including as a school and a hospital. Today, it is a private residence and is not open to the public. However, visitors can still admire the beautiful architecture and the surrounding gardens.

Another popular attraction in Wennington is the Wennington Marshes, which is a nature reserve that covers over 100 hectares of land. The marshes are home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, insects, and mammals. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful walk along the footpaths and take in the stunning views of the River Thames. The marshes are also a popular spot for fishing and birdwatching.
