Figures compiled by the Urban Studies and Planning Department at the University of Sheffield show that Havering has the highest percentage of joint green urban/farmland space in Greater London. At 60%, Havering is just above Richmond (58%) and Bromley (57%), meanwhile near neighbours Redbridge (44%) and Barking & Dagenham (30%) are some way behind.

In terms of built-up area, Havering has the second lowest density (39%) after Bromley (38%). Redbridge (55%) and Barking & Dagenham (70%) are more built-up, but not as much as Tower Hamlets (86%).
