Romford Market
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romford Market is a large open market with 270 stalls [1] located in Romford in the London Borough of Havering, East London.
It is open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8.30 am to 4.30 p.m. It is also open on all bank holiday Mondays and other days including Sundays in the run up to Christmas.
The market originated as a sheep market in the 13th Century. Under a Royal Charter granted by King Henry III no other market is permitted to set up within a day's sheep drive (six and two-thirds miles) of Romford. The market is a hub on the London Bus network with services to Canning Town, Leytonstone, Stratford, Rainham, Dagenham, Barkingside, Cranham and Ilford. [2]
A park and ride bus service allows free parking in nearby car-parks on market days. On other days, the market itself is available as a car-park.
