Mawneys is a suburban ward in the London Borough of Havering in England, located just east of Romford and next to Collier Row. It is predominantly residential, with a mixture of post‑war council housing and private estates, local parades of shops and community facilities, and straightforward road and rail links into central London.
Historically the name derives from a medieval manor in the area and the neighbourhood saw most of its growth during 20th‑century suburbanisation. Today it’s seen as a family‑oriented, socio‑economically mixed area with local parks, schools and volunteer groups, while residents often use nearby Romford for larger retail, leisure and employment opportunities.
