Romford is a large town in East London, England, and the administrative centre of the London Borough of Havering. Romford is located 14.1 miles northeast of Charing Cross and is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan. Romford 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. Romford now forms one of the largest commercial, retail, entertainment and leisure districts outside central London
Romford centre is for the most part contained within a ring road formed of St Edwards Way, Mercury Gardens, Thurloe Gardens, Oldchurch Road and Waterloo Road. The market place and much of South Street and the High Street are pedestrianised. The railway cuts through the town from east to west on a viaduct, with the bulk of the central Romford area to its north. The River Rom flows through the town in underground channels and joins the Thames after flowing through Hornchurch; elsewhere along its course it is known as the River Beam and forms part of the strategic waterways Blue Ribbon Network.
Romford has formed part of the continuously built-up area of London since the 1930s and is contiguous with Rush Green to the west, Collier Row to the north, Gidea Park to the east and Hornchurch to the south east. The Romford post town covers all of the former municipal borough and extends over a much wider area, including parts of Barking and Dagenham and Epping Forest.

Moving post card The London boroughs that make up this informal area are Barking & Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest. The total area of this group of boroughs is 318.64 km² and the total population in 2004 was 1.5 million.
East London sub regionThe East London sub region of the London Plan additionally includes the City of London which would otherwise be included in Central London, excludes Waltham Forest, but includes the boroughs of Bexley, Greenwich and Lewisham which are south of the river and often considered to be either South or South East London. This sub region, the largest in London, contains all of the Thames Gateway redevelopment zone that is in London, on both sides of the Thames within a single sub region. Other organisations including the Learning and Skills Council, the related London East Connexions Partnership and the London Development Agency also use this definition. The sub region had a population in 2001 of 1.9 million.
[edit] Present and future
East London is today an area of regeneration, with a rising population. The redevelopment of the Docklands area began in the early 1980s, and the Thames Gateway project is now extending regeneration further east, with the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation responsible for planning and delivery of the project in East London. London's successful bid to host the 2012 Olympics has kick-started regeneration programmes in the area, and is likely to have an impact on house prices. This has been evidenced in August 2005 where East London was one of only three places in England and Wales to have increases in property prices. [1]
[edit] Transport
East London has seen considerable improvement with transport in recent years and is the focus for further development over the years leading up to the 2012 Olympic Games and beyond.
The A12 and A13 trunk roads have been considerably upgraded and the Docklands Light Railway and Jubilee Line Extension constructed. A new extension to the Docklands Light Railway to connect with London City Airport opened in December 2005 while work on an extension under the Thames to connect with Woolwich has already started. Further DLR projects include an extension to Barking Reach and Dagenham Dock, and a direct route, via West Ham, from Royal Victoria to Stratford to connect with Stratford International station on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link; itself currently under construction at the heart of Stratford City.
Existing transport infrastructure already includes a large network of suburban National Rail routes operated by 'one' and c2c, and the London Underground services of the Central Line and District Line. Transport for London are currently developing an East London Transit scheme for the area and an east-west rail route known as Crossrail is also planned to serve several stations in East London.
[edit] History
The oldest parts of East London are Tower Hamlets and Hackney. These areas, originally in Middlesex officially became part of London with the creation of the County of London in 1888. The eastern limit of London at this time became the River Lea which was the traditional boundary between Middlesex and Essex.
Because the strict planning laws of London were not in force on the eastern side of the river the area began to industrialise quickly in places such as Canning Town and Silvertown, now in the borough of Newham. This area became known as 'London over the Border'. In 1965 the boroughs of Newham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham and Havering were incorporated into Greater London. As a legacy of not being in the original County of London, Newham receives less funding, than for example Tower Hamlets, and is campaigning to be officially recognised as an Inner London borough.
[edit] Alternative names
[edit] East End
East London is sometimes erroneously considered interchangeable with the East End of London; however, the traditional East End is a comparatively small area, covering only the innermost (western) parts of East London, centred on Tower Hamlets and part of Hackney, immediately adjacent to the ancient eastern boundary of the City of London.
[edit] North East London
As no part of London south of the River Thames is considered to be part of East London, North East London would strictly be a more accurate description of the area, and this name is sometimes used to refer to it. For example, there is a North East London strategic health authority and a North East London Assembly constituency (which also covers Islington). The rest of East London is covered by City and East which includes Barking and Dagenham, Newham and Tower Hamlets while Havering and Redbridge form a constituency.

First Walk of 2020 - Beyond King Harold's Tomb (4K)
My first walk of 2020, and it seemed apt to start the new decade at the tomb of King Harold at Waltham Abbey. The aim of the walk was to climb a ridge of high land near Monkham's Hall that I've looked at many times. A comment on a previous video mentioned a First World War anti-aircraft gun emplacement on the hill near Kennel Wood - so that's where I headed. A truly magnificent start to the new year and the new decade.

Havering Miniature Railway Club
Hello Youtubers
In this video you will see a couple of videos and some pics of the new Hvering Miniature Railway Club which are going to be based in the Raphaels park Romford.
They are at the moment only temporary so they have to lay and take up the track each time they want to run.
But they do have permision to start building a proper 500 to 600 meter railway with station and engine facilities.
So as i work in this park for the local council i will keep you posted of their developments.
