About

Romford East sits to the east of Romford town centre in the London Borough of Havering. The ward covers mainly residential neighbourhoods, with a mix of housing types from interwar terraces and semi‑detached homes to later council estates. Local life centres on small parades of shops, primary schools and community centres, with regular bus services linking the area to Romford station and to neighbouring parts of Havering. Streets in parts of the area still carry names that hint at its earlier rural character, reflecting the transition from farmland to suburb in the early 20th century.

Green space is woven through the neighbourhoods: pocket parks, play areas and sports pitches provide places for local clubs and informal activity. A narrow corridor following the course of the River Rom crosses parts of the ward, giving a linear route for walks and for drainage across the suburb. Community halls, allotments and local clubs form the backbone of everyday life, and residents typically use nearby Romford town for broader shopping, rail connections and civic services.
