Langtons is a grade II listed 18th century house and public gardens situated in Billet Lane,Hornchurch. The house stands in a picturesque landscaped garden with a lake, orangery, bath house and a gazebo; all dating from the eighteenth century. The house belonged to the Massu family, Huguenot refugees from France, who became wealthy silk merchants in the City of London Langtons was given to Hornchurch Urban District Council in 1929 under the condition that the building must be used for council purposes and the six acres of grounds remain open to the public. The gardens remain open as one of the parks in Havering. The building housed the council offices until the council was abolished in 1965 and The London Borough Havering, based in Romford, was created.
