"One spot that makes that line particularly fuzzy, however, is North Ockendon. The charming village is nestled in the furthermost corner of the capital, and despite being surrounded by spots that are in Essex; it's technically in London."
"Perched on the very edge of the London Borough of Havering, North Ockendon certainly doesn't resemble what springs to mind when you think of London. Surrounded by tranquil countryside and dotted with pretty cottages that date back to the 1700s; the village oozes charm - and feels a world away from the chaos of the capital."
"The historic parish became part of the district of Hornchurch back in 1935. And although its neighbouring sibling (South Ockendon) is considered as part of the Thurrock borough in Essex, North Ockendon has managed to maintain its London title throughout the years."
"Home to only a handful of residents, no train station, and just one pub (can you even imagine?!), the village may be small but it's also pretty mighty. North Ockendon boasts a host of historic landmarks."
