Havering Museum Ltd
About This Museum
Would you believe a museum dedicated to an entire London borough is tucked inside a former pub? That's the wonderfully local charm of Havering Museum. It feels less like a formal institution and more like popping into a neighbor's house who has kept every fascinating bit of local history. You'll find everything from prehistoric artifacts to stories of Romford's famous market, all curated with clear passion. It’s a genuine love letter to this corner of the city.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning Anglo-Saxon spearheads found locally and the recreated 1950s parlor that will spark nostalgia. The exhibits on the Romford Brewery are a particular favorite, telling the hoppy history of the area's once-thriving beer trade.
Visitor Information
It's right there on Romford High Street, so it's incredibly easy to pop in after some shopping. Check their website for opening times as they can vary.
Architecture & Building
The museum is cleverly housed in a converted historic building that once served as a pub and later council offices, giving it a wonderfully unpretentious and grounded feel from the outside.
