Havering Museum is a small, volunteer-led museum housed on the ground floor of the old Romford Brewery building, telling the story of Havering from pre-history to the present day. Inside you'll find two permanent galleries exploring local history through different themes, plus a temporary exhibition room and learning zone used for events, talks and school visits. The displays sit on one level and the museum is completely wheelchair accessible, making it a good option for families and those with mobility needs. It suits visitors curious about local heritage rather than those seeking a big national collection. Located in London and just 0.3 miles from Romford station, it's easy to combine with a wider day out, and with 26 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's a convenient stop if you're basing yourself nearby.
