This pleasant cycle will take you around Gidea Park, Romford's Garden Suburb, founded in 1911 and inspired by Ebenezer Howard's Garden City movement. Many of the houses that are found in the Garden Suburb today are 'exhibition homes'; in 1911 a competition was held to provide high quality architecturally designed homes. Over 100 leading architects of the day designed homes for the competition, which were FROM havering museum TO raphael park executed in an Arts and Crafts style; many of the houses and cottages are reminiscent of vernacular buildings in their form and detailing. For more details see 'A Pocket Guide to The Gidea Park Conservation Area' by the Gidea Park and District Civic Society.
