West Ham is a district in East London, England and is in the London Borough of Newham. It is an inner-city suburb located 6.1 mi east of Charing Cross. The area was originally an ancient parish formed to serve parts of the older Manor of Ham, and it later became a County Borough. The parish and borough of West Ham, situated east of the River Lea and north of the River Thames, was an administrative unit, with largely consistent boundaries, from the 12th century to 1965, when it merged with neighbouring areas to become the western part of the new London Borough. Before 1965 the area was part of the historic county of Essex.
