St George’s Park housing development in Hornchurch

St George's Park is a development of new homes in Hornchurch, just a mile from the town centre. It is being developed by Bellway Homes and offers a range of stylish 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom houses. Many of the apartments have balconies, and all of the houses have private gardens. Allocated parking is also available.
Before its current incarnation, the site served as a crucial airfield during the Second World War, known as RAF Hornchurch. Brave pilots took to the skies from this very spot, defending the nation against adversaries and securing victory in the Battle of Britain. The echoes of their valor still resonate within the very fabric of St George's Park, a constant reminder of the courage and resilience that once defined this land.
As the war concluded and the need for aerial defense subsided, the site transitioned into a beacon of healing, becoming the renowned St George's Hospital. For decades, this medical institution provided compassionate care to the community, its corridors filled with stories of recovery, hope, and the indomitable human spirit.
Today, St George's Park honors its heritage while embracing a new chapter. The development seamlessly blends modern living with a deep respect for its historical roots. The former Suttons House, a Grade II-listed building that once served as part of the hospital complex, has been meticulously restored and transformed into the RAF Hornchurch Heritage Centre, preserving the legacy of the site's aviation heritage.
The development itself stands as a testament to the site's transformative journey. Spacious apartments and houses, adorned with contemporary designs and thoughtful layouts, now occupy the land where Spitfires once soared and medical professionals diligently tended to their patients. Families stroll along pathways once traversed by wartime heroes, and children's laughter fills the air where the hum of aircraft engines once echoed.
