Romford's market has been trading under royal charter since 1247, when Henry III granted it the right to hold a weekly market — nearly 800 years before it became the main town of the London Borough of Havering.
A market with a 1247 royal charter
Romford Market received its charter from Henry III in 1247, originally as a sheep and cattle market, with governance later strengthened by the 1465 charter of the Liberty of Havering. Today it runs every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with more than 150 stalls covering clothing, fruit and veg, and general goods — a genuine slice of medieval market-town history still operating in outer London.
The Liberty, and what it doesn't have
Just off the market sits The Liberty, Romford's indoor shopping centre, covering the usual mix of fashion and high-street chains. Between an 800-year-old market and a modern shopping centre, Romford has plenty of retail history — but no shop in either one is set up to sell sweets by the kilo.
Why "sweets near me" in Romford means a market stall, not a specialist
Search for sweets near you in Romford and the market or The Liberty are the realistic results — good for a bag bought in person, not for vegan-specific ranges, halal-friendly lines or a trade case for an event. For that, ordering online and having it delivered skips the trip entirely.
