It is 18 miles (29 km) east-northeast of Central London and consists of a dispersed settlement within the Metropolitan Green Belt. It was historically an ancient parish in the county of Essex, which was abolished for civil purposes in 1936.[1] North Ockendon is the only inhabited area in Greater London outside the M25 London Orbital Motorway.
