Where Havering's Spiders Gather
Sheds and garages near Havering Country Park
Properties along Collier Row backing onto Havering Country Park tend to have larger, older outbuildings, and the cold, undisturbed conditions inside a shed or garage here suit spiders looking to overwinter close to a house.
Outbuildings on Rainham's riverside plots
Out towards Rainham, older outbuildings and industrial units near the marshland offer the same kind of cold, quiet cover, and numbers there tend to build up through autumn as spiders move in from open ground nearby.
Signs to Look For
- Cobwebs building up in corners, cellars or rarely used rooms
- Spiders seen more often in autumn as they move indoors to breed
- Egg sacs tucked into skirting boards, window frames or storage boxes
- More activity in cold, undisturbed spaces — sheds, garages, cellars
