About

Romford North West lies to the north-west of Romford town centre within the London Borough of Havering. The area is predominantly residential, with a mix of interwar semi-detached houses and later council-built terraces. Small parades of shops and local services sit along the main roads, and regular bus services connect residents to Romford station and to routes toward the A12 and neighbouring parts of Havering. Streets are arranged in a suburban pattern with pockets of allotments and small recreation grounds that serve local schools and sports clubs.

Community facilities include primary schools, a community centre and health services clustered around the larger shopping streets. A local feature that shows in the street pattern and gardens is the survival of long back gardens and a number of mature fruit trees, a reminder of the area’s past role supplying produce into Romford’s market. Day-to-day life is focused on local amenities and onward travel into the town centre for wider shopping and rail connections.
