Why choose Romford for your road trip

Romford — a city worth exploring

Romford's Market Place has hosted a chartered market since 1247, making it one of the oldest trading sites in Greater London. Sitting in the London Borough of Havering, this east London town blends suburban green space with easy access to the capital's landmarks. Stroll through Raphael Park, a 20-hectare expanse with a boating lake and formal gardens, or catch a show at the Brookside Theatre, a community arts venue in the heart of town. History enthusiasts can explore Havering Museum on High Street, which charts the borough's story from rural Essex to modern London. Heading south-east, the RSPB Rainham Marshes nature reserve lies just 8 km away, offering birdwatching hides along the Thames estuary. Southend-on-Sea is roughly 40 km to the east, where the world's longest pleasure pier stretches into the Thames. Romford sits at the junction of the A12 and A127, so you can reach the M25 orbital in minutes — a real advantage when you are travelling in a motorhome or campervan. The surrounding roads are well-suited to larger vehicles once you clear the town centre. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan directly from local owners across Romford and Havering, which means flexible pick-up points and genuine tips on where to park, eat, and explore. It is a practical, personal way to start a road trip from this well-connected corner of London.

Best time to visit

Romford comes alive in summer when the Havering Show, usually held in early September at Harrow Lodge Park, draws crowds with agricultural displays and live entertainment. Late spring through to early autumn is ideal for campervan touring, as the longer days give you more time to explore the Essex countryside and Thames estuary coast. Book your hire through Yescapa ahead of the school holidays in July and August to lock in the best choice of vehicles from local owners. Romford's position on the edge of London also makes it a smart base for autumn city breaks, when visitor numbers ease and motorhome parking is simpler to find.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a larger vehicle in Romford town centre can be tricky, so plan ahead. Several car parks accept motorhomes during the day, though height barriers apply at some multi-storey facilities. For overnight stays, dedicated motorhome aires are limited in the immediate area, so heading to a nearby campsite is often the best option. Always check signage for height and length restrictions before entering any car park.

  • The Brewery Car Park, Adjacent to the city — Large open-air car park in Romford town centre with generous bay sizes. Check height restrictions at the entrance barrier before entering with a taller vehicle.
  • Raphael Park (on-street), 1km north — On-street parking along Main Road near Raphael Park. Suitable for smaller campervans during daytime visits. No overnight stays permitted.
  • Sainsbury's Romford Car Park, 1km south — Spacious supermarket car park with some larger bays. Useful for quick stops and provisioning. Height barrier may restrict access for high-top motorhomes.
  • RSPB Rainham Marshes Car Park, 8km southeast — Free car park at the nature reserve with space for larger vehicles. Open during reserve hours, no overnight parking allowed.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Romford

Maddison
5 / 5

This was such a phenomenal experience. Sharif was so kind, helpful, communicative and thoughtful. He went out of his way on multiple occasions to check in and offer valuable local advice and suggestions on things I could see, which was much appreciated as a solo female traveller. He helped me sort out issues, of which there were very few. He was super flexible on pick up and drop off and provided shuttle service to the airport so I didn't have to lug my bags away. I couldn't recommend this more. This was also my first time driving on the opposite side of the road than I'm used to and found the van easy to drive and see around.

The pick up/ check out n was extremely long and this should be explained before booking to factor in as was a Friday evening.

David
5 / 5

The staff where very friendly and helpful and the vehicle was in good condition and well stocked with everything you needed for cooking. On the first day of collection staff member went over all the systems for this type of campervan I am planning to do another trip up the North of Scotland next year and will be booking from Indie Campers again.
