Upminster is a town in Essex, located at the eastern edge of the Greater London conurbation. It is home to the eastern terminus of the District Line of the London Underground. Upminster Windmill, formerly known as Abraham's Mill, is a smock mill and one of the few surviving windmills in England. The speed of sound was first calculated accurately by the Reverend William Derham in Upminster.
