Heaton is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Havering, in outer London, England. It is largely suburban and residential, with a mix of inter‑war and post‑war housing, small local shopping parades and neighbourhood parks that give the ward a village‑like feel within the capital.
Locally the ward returns councillors to Havering council and its economy is driven by local services and commuters travelling into central London. Historically the area sits within the old county of Essex and reflects the wider 20th‑century suburban expansion; community life tends to centre on schools, churches and active neighbourhood groups.
