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.

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.
