Christmas Tree Delivery Across Havering
Havering is the easternmost London borough. It sits at the point where the city gives way to Essex. Romford is the main town. Its market has traded since 1247. The Liberty Shopping Centre and the market square anchor the town centre. Harold Hill, Collier Row, Emerson Park and Hornchurch spread out to the north and south. Upminster, with its windmill and its position at the end of the District line, marks the outer edge. Havering is a borough that keeps its own character at Christmas.
Good Elf delivers Nordmann Fir and Norway Spruce to Havering and the full RM postcode area. Every tree is cut to order from British farms and sent out for next day delivery. Your tree arrives fresh. It holds its needles. It fills the room.
We have served London for over 20 years. All our trees are grown in the UK on a ten-year cycle that supports birds and wildlife. Our freshness guarantee covers every order. If your tree drops needles within four weeks, we replace it.
Choose Your Christmas Tree
Two trees suit Havering homes best. Both are cut on the day of dispatch. Both arrive at their freshest.
Shop Nordmann Fir →
Nordmann Fir
Our most popular tree. Soft, dark needles with excellent needle retention. A full, rounded shape that suits both post-war semis and modern open-plan homes. The Nordmann Fir is the tree that stays beautiful all season.
It does not drop. It does not dry out. Keep it watered and it will last six to eight weeks without losing its shape.
Shop Norway Spruce →
Norway Spruce
The original English Christmas tree. Sharp needles, a classic triangular shape and a scent that fills the room. If you grew up with the smell of pine resin in December, this is the tree you remember.
The Norway Spruce needs daily water and a cool spot. Keep it away from radiators and it rewards you with pine fragrance every day until Christmas.

Where To Buy A Christmas Tree In Havering
Several garden centres and pop-up stalls carry real trees in Havering from late November. Havering Museum in Romford runs community events through the festive season. Raphael Park in Romford is a good winter walk and the surrounding area is well decorated through December.
If you want a tree cut within hours of arrival, delivered to your door on a date you choose, Good Elf is the right service. Every tree is cut fresh on the day of dispatch. That is the difference between a tree that arrives at its best and one that has been standing outside for two weeks.
Caring For Your Real Christmas Tree
Stand your tree in water on the day it arrives. A fresh-cut tree can drink a pint of water on the first day. Fill the stand's reservoir and check it every morning. Real trees are thirsty, especially in the first week.
Keep your tree away from radiators. Havering homes can get warm in December. A real tree does better in a cool room with good light. Keep it away from south-facing windows in the afternoon.
A Nordmann Fir kept in water will hold its needles for six to eight weeks. A Norway Spruce needs more water but fills the room with that pine scent from the first day to the last.
Havering Christmas Events 2025
Havering has a good festive programme each year. Romford market and town centre are decorated from mid-November. Order your tree early. Delivery slots fill once the season is underway.
Romford Market at Christmas
Romford Market has traded since 1247 and is one of the oldest street markets in England. In December the market runs its usual schedule with seasonal food and gift stalls added to the permanent pitches. The market square and the surrounding streets are decorated through the festive season. The Liberty Shopping Centre is open late through December. It is worth a visit on a December Saturday when the market is at its busiest.
Havering Christmas Lights Switch-On
Romford town centre holds a Christmas lights switch-on event each November. The event is usually held in the South Street area near the market with live entertainment and the formal lights switch-on in the early evening. It draws families and visitors from across the borough and marks the start of the festive season. Check the Havering Council website each year for the exact date and programme.
Upminster at Christmas
Upminster is the outer end of the District line and has a village character distinct from Romford. The windmill on St Mary's Lane is one of the better-known local landmarks. The high street has independent shops and a good range of local businesses. In December the area is decorated and the windmill is one of the more recognisable festive sights in the borough.
Raphael Park in Winter
Raphael Park is the main public park in Romford, a Victorian ornamental park with a lake and good tree cover. In December the park is quieter but the lake and the surrounding paths are worth the walk on a clear morning. It is ten minutes from Romford town centre on foot and is the best winter walk in the immediate area.
