Romford Shopping Hall underwent a massive re-development in 2008 and has been rebuilt into a state-of-the-art market hall. Grand pilasters at the entrance lead into a light and airy market hall, with a large roof light over a central atrium and escalators from ground to first floor. The feel is traditional, but also modern. The high quality retail units were built by craftsmen from Northern Italy. Environmental graphics and directional signage bring the market concept into the 21st Century. Units include Terry McDowell's pie and mash shop, traditional butcher's, fishmonger's and greengrocer's,a Turkish delicatessen, Chinese supermarket.
