10 Things to do in Romford That You Shouldn't Miss

August 7, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

Romford is a large town in east London, and the administrative centre of the London Borough of Havering. It is located 14.1 miles (22.7 km) northeast of Charing Cross and is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan. It was historically a market town in the county of Essex and formed the administrative centre of the liberty of Havering, until it was dissolved in 1892. Good road links and the opening of the railway station in 1839 were key to the development of the town and the economic history of Romford is underpinned by a shift from agriculture to light industry and then to retail and commerce. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Romford significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1937 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965. It now forms one of the largest commercial, retail, entertainment and leisure districts outside central London and has a developed night-time economy.

Worldwide Signings

All of our autographs come from reliable sources, personal signings, or public signings. We also deal only with registered dealers. Everything we sell is genuinely hand signed by the person stated. Our small and motivated team will deliver upon our promise to provide you with the best quality, service and value for money. We are not a 'wannabe' outfit trying to make a quick pound before disappearing without a trace. We were here last year and the years before that, and we will be here next year and for the years to come - should you ever need us. It can be a scary decision when buying signed memorabilia online with the marketplace flooded with fakes it is very difficult to distinguish between genuine items that have the potential to increase in value and worthless counterfeits.

Mayhem Paintball

THE place for outdoor activities! The most exhilarating, hardcore paintballing experience in London, as seen on more TV shows than you can shake a paintball gun at, including The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE). If you don't subscribe to the 'no pain, no gain' mentality but still fancy the same exhilarating experience, we've got you covered! We also offer Low Impact paintballing - the same great game styles but with a lower impact and more armour! As well as this, we offer mini-paintball and laser tag for our younger players. Mayhem now offers fantastic Airsoft Experiences! Lead your team to victory in our close quarter battle maps, based on real COD maps! Set in beautiful woodland on London’s Essex borders, Mayhem Paintball has stood the test of time, with almost three decades of fantastic paintball. And with direct routes from London, we are easily accessible from the heart of the city.

Brookside Theatre

Reviewed By jackiewH2551CN

This is our second visit to Brookside in as many months. Not sure how we have missed this theatre for so long but now we are hooked. Super little theatre, great seating, friendly staff. Most importantly we have been impressed with the two productions seen so far, Oliver and The Canterville Ghost. All the cast were brilliant, special mention to the little girl playing the daughter. She will go far! Well done. U

Moby Golf is great for children from about 4 or 5 upwards - as soon as they can hit a golf ball in somewhat the right direction! And for adults too. A great family activity and a brilliant thought-out fun course with water and whale and pirate ship and all sorts! Definitely recommend this place!

Staff are well knowledgeable about the history and narratives surrounding the artefacts in the museum as well as incredibly friendly, it’s a great small museum cheaply priced and has an option for tea and coffee and biscuits when going in a group
