About

Romford South sits immediately south of Romford town centre in the London Borough of Havering. The ward is mainly residential, with a mix of terraces, semi‑detached houses and interwar and postwar council housing laid out on a grid of streets that grew as the suburb expanded in the early 20th century. Small shopping parades and corner shops serve day‑to‑day needs, while a handful of community centres and primary schools anchor local life. The railway embankment that carries the line through Romford forms a clear physical divide between the town centre and the southern neighbourhoods.

Local transport links concentrate on bus routes into Romford station, which provides frequent rail services into central London and eastwards to Shenfield. Pockets of green space and playing fields appear toward the southern edge, and a narrow green corridor follows the River Rom as it threads through the area, passing allotments and floodplain vegetation in places where the riverbed widens. That stretch of river and the pattern of early suburban development give Romford South a recognisable streetscape within Havering.
