The people are cunts
everything should probably get another big bump up when Crossrail is officially opened.
open racism
My preconception of Romford was pretty accurate then
I look forward to hearing more
dbadger-
My mother and father in law are in Romford. Very very quick train to Stratford (8/9 mins I think non stop) - cheap to commute from. Central commutable on a bike. Some beautiful Victorian and Edwardian houses. Everything else said above is right. (Although some interesting little bars are open until up - a craft beer place has opened up on main road recently)

I'm from Romford.
It's in Havering, which was 11th or 12th highest Leave vote %.
I don't have enough time to write about Romford right now so I'll come back write a longer post, but the short version:
If you've never lived in a big town or city, Romford probably seems appealing, there's loads of shopping, food, bars, and even clubs(!), but they're all fucking terrible. If you've lived in London, everything will just seem a bit, shit.
The people are cunts and I hate the place.
Commute's alright, you can get a night bus home if you miss the last train, I'm not a property speculator, but I think you've missed the biggest jumps in prices if you're looking to see a return on your capital, but everything should probably get another big bump up when Crossrail is officially opened.
I'll leave the in depth summary of open racism for later.
