Romford is the main town centre for the London Borough of Havering, sitting in the RM1 postcode at the outer edge of Greater London in the northeast. It's one of east London's larger suburban centres, with a history that goes back to one of England's oldest markets: Romford Market has been operating continuously since 1247. Romford station is on the Elizabeth line, giving direct services into Liverpool Street, Canary Wharf, and beyond, which has driven renewed residential demand from buyers looking for more space than they can find in inner east London. The housing mix in RM1 runs from Victorian terraces close to the town centre to 1930s semis and detached houses on the streets radiating outward, with newer apartment developments near the station. Road access in most of Romford's residential areas is straightforward: wide roads, driveways on the older semi-detached stock, and no CPZ in most residential streets away from the town centre. The A12 Eastern Avenue and the A118 give good routing in and out of the area. No Congestion Charge in Romford RM1. ULEZ applies. We cover this area every day of the week with fixed prices confirmed before you book.

Romford gets overlooked by people who have never moved here, and they are usually surprised once they do. The 1930s semis on the streets between the town centre and Harold Wood or Hornchurch are solidly built, often extended to the rear, and come with garages and gardens that add real volume to what looks like a three-bedroom move on paper. The families moving into RM1 are largely coming from Barking, Dagenham, or inner east London postcodes, trading up in size and looking for the combination of space and Elizabeth line access that Romford now offers directly. The move in almost always involves more volume than the previous inner London property, and the move out of the previous home is often into something smaller at the destination.
Loading in most of Romford's residential streets is easy. Wide roads, driveways on most of the 1930s stock, and the absence of CPZ on the majority of residential streets mean a large Luton van or a 7.5-tonne lorry parks directly outside without any advance arrangement. The town centre-adjacent streets and the areas near the station have some parking restrictions but these are manageable with an early start.
HM Land Registry data shows RM1 prices rising significantly following the Elizabeth line opening, with buyers from Stratford and inner east London postcodes moving further out for value and commutability. The ONS 2021 Census records the London Borough of Havering as one of the largest outer London boroughs by area, with Romford as its main population centre and a consistent pattern of inward migration from inner east London boroughs driving the removal work we do here throughout the year.
