I really, really wanted to give the Market Place 5 stars but feel I can't as it's really gone down…read morehill recently. One of the largest markets in the South East it's so popular that they actually run coach trips here! The market is mixed and contains stalls ranging from clothing through meat, vegetables through CDs. Some stalls, such as the CD stall outside Debenhams or Peter the Pleater's blind stall have been there for years. Others are newer. The market stands on a cobbled area and is fringed by the shops and, more recently, some living accommodation. The ancient St Edwards church provides a focal point and gives the whole area a rather historic feel. Market days are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with the market place being used for car parking outside these times. Expect the market to be operational before 9am and to close up around 4pm or later if trade is good. There's an Eastend buzz about the place but it's not what it used to be!

It's quite a big shop and is well located in the main shopping mall of Romford but it's layout is terrible. The counter is centrally located and there is no room to queue, this also means that getting to the 2nd half of the shop is hard work if there's a queue, I don't know who designed this branch but I wouldn't bother shopping there.

Think possibly one of the best markets around, there is a wide variety of things on offer - from…read moreDVDs to clothes to flowers and blinds! There is always something that you will find down there, and all the prices are cheaper than retailers. Good quality items, and the traders are very friendly. They are all regulars so you can even return items fine. Alot of the stalls are actually stalls of shops in romford, there is a Butlers Stall and a Linzi's Shoe stall that are very helpful. There is even places to get something to eat, dinky doughnuts and burger bars etc. A great atmosphere and some great bargains to be had.
