   • Havering Museum. A real source of pride for the borough, the Havering Museum on the ground floor of the old Romford Brewery is run entirely by volunteers.
   • Raphael Park. Long and narrow, this park between Romford and Gidea Park is on Black’s Brook, which has been dammed at Main Road to form a lake. This land once belonged to a country estate, and you may be interested to know that it retains some landscaping by Sir Humphrey Repton, one of the leading lights of garden design in the Georgian period.
   • St Edward the Confessor Church (Anglican) There are two churches in Romford with this name, and this post is about the older Church of England building on the Market Place.
   • Lodge Farm Park. On the other side of Main Road from Raphael Park is the Green Flag-winning Lodge Farm Park, which is also threaded by Black’s Brook. This restful space has also recently earned a Silver Gilt in the Best Park category for London in Bloom, and has a border that draws bees and butterflies to an otherwise built-up corner of Greater London.
