The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Romford, England
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.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 24 reviews
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.

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!

Went to Romford Dogs for a stag night, and ate in the pavillion restaurant. The starter was a buffet salad bar, with prawns, pate and a wide selection of other good quality dishes. Second course was a choice of pork, beef or turkey carvery with two kinds of potatoes, yorkshire pudding, carrots and green beans. The dessert either cheese and biscuits or gateaux. Really good quality food for all courses and the portion sizes plentiful.
