"Where London's Tube Map Gives Up And Cries"

Official Coat of Arms

A shield bearing a greyhound rampant in memory of the old dog stadium, quartered with a pint glass and a market trader's fold-up table, surmounted by a giant inflatable arch from the Liberty shopping centre, with the motto 'Somewhere Between Havering and Havoc'.

TripAdvisor Review

★★★☆☆ 3/5

"Came for the market, stayed because my car got clamped near the Brewery. The Liberty shopping centre has literally every phone repair shop known to mankind, which is handy because someone will definitely nick your phone on a Saturday night out. Romford nightlife is genuinely wild - I saw three hen dos and a fight outside Yates before 9pm. Would visit again but I'd bring a helmet."
