The 1994 Havering Council election took place on 5 May 1994 to elect members of Havering London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the council stayed in no overall control.

Electoral arrangements

63 councillors were elected from 25 wards. Each ward returned two or three councillors. The 1994 election used the 1978 wards with some boundary revisions that became effective 1 April 1994. ^[2] The most significant change was Cranham East which lost Great Warley. Gooshays and Harold Wood gained and lost some territory as the borough boundary was aligned to the M25 motorway. ^[a]

Polling took place on 5 May 1994. ^[3]

Results

Labour remained the largest group on the council, gaining five seats and one short of a majority. Labour gained three seats from the Conservatives in Brooklands, Mawney and St Andrew's wards. Two seats were gained from the Liberal Democrats in Rainham. The Residents Association also made gains from the Conservatives with two seats each in Gidea Park and St Andrew's wards.

The council remained in no overall control. ^[3]
