About

Central Romford sits at the heart of Havering, combining retail, civic and transport functions. The town centre is anchored by Market Place, where a market has traded since a charter in 1247, and by the railway station that links the area with London Liverpool Street and the Shenfield line. Streets around the high street contain shopping centres, independent shops and a bus interchange. The River Rom runs just to the west of the centre; the settlement originally developed around a crossing of that stream.

Civic and leisure facilities cluster close to the market: council services, library and community venues share short walks from the station, while evening activity gathers around pubs, restaurants and a small theatre. A regularly used clock tower marks the Market Place and the covered stalls host specialist traders alongside everyday stalls. Development in recent decades has mixed housing and commercial refurbishments, so central Romford presents a compact, walkable area that functions as Havering’s main town centre.
